Anthony Kim is not a superhero who can defy the laws of nature. Or is it him? LIV’s new hype video will try to convince you that he is.
last weekend, golf channel report Anthony Kim, a former golf prodigy who has been away from the sport for 12 years since injuring his Achilles tendon after the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship, will be joining LIV Golf.

Although he did not specifically mention Kim by name, LIV executive Greg Norman posted a hype video to X that strongly implied Kim was the golfer mentioned.
“He exudes incredible talent,” Norman wrote in X. “The world has seen it before, and now, as Commissioner of LIV Golf, I am honored to be given the opportunity to reincarnate this star.” Welcome to the LIV Golf family. The golf world will miss you. ”

“The journey begins in the silence of a desert where time has stopped,” says the video’s voiceover.
Then, a shadowy figure who closely resembles Anthony Kim appears.
“For years, this path has been in darkness, with little hope,” the narrator continues. “But this is a comeback.
“Witness the dance of redemption as new paths emerge against a backdrop of infinite possibilities.”
“Dance of salvation”? sorry. Let’s hope Anthony Kim plays well and can resume and continue his once promising career. It’s not his fault that LIV media people confused him with a combination of Jesus and Batman.
Very strange how this is packaged. Maybe they should have been a little more careful in teasing the return of a player who hasn’t played since the Obama era. In any case, good luck, Anthony Kim.
