Anthony Kim was so off the grid that he was only ‘vaguely’ aware of Tiger Woods’ 2019 Masters win
Anthony Kim has been dropping bombshells this week. In an interview with David Feherty, he disclosed that he only returned to golf three months before his comeback at LIV Jeddah. Then, at his first official U.S. press conference in over 12 years, held at Trump National Doral, Kim revealed more about his lengthy absence.
Kim confessed that he received a “rude awakening” from doctors who warned him about his limited time. Surprisingly, during his decade-plus hiatus, he hardly watched golf except when struggling to sleep or attempting to nap. This revelation left many puzzled.
It’s unclear what “vaguely” means in this context. Did he know but not care? Or did he become aware months later? His ability to remain oblivious to major events in the sport he once played professionally is remarkable in today’s hyperconnected world.
Kim missed not only Tiger’s comeback but also Brooks Koepka’s impressive major run from 2017 to 2019.
The full extent of Kim’s revelations, including the reasons behind his disconnected lifestyle, will be explored in his upcoming documentary. Regardless of what Kim remembers or doesn’t, his return to the golf world is welcomed by fans.
