    I think when AK decides it’s time to tell his story, we’ll find out he’s been through much more than we would’ve guessed. I’m an Asian male in my 50’s, and seeing AK here, it’s clear he is showing some mileage that usually doesn’t appear on the faces of Asian guys his age. I hope AK continues to do his thing. I’m an AK fan, and I’m also grateful LIV has given him an opportunity. I’ve been critical of LIV, and now I’m eating crow - LIV is giving me the chance to see AK compete, giving me something I can appreciate that the PGA Tour wouldn’t or couldn’t bring to the table.

      I agree. when the time is right I believe he will speak of it. AK had such a pure smile and joy when he used to play more than a decade ago. Not only did his style change completely but his face and his expressions. Also, he constantly mentions in every interview about what he has gone through the past decade and how grateful he is for this opportunity shows he has had many dark things going on. I’m happy he got this opportunity again and he’s making the best out of it
