Anthony Kim isn't just stepping onto the course in Korea this week; he's competing for his daughter and his roots – with a momentum that's electrifying the golf world. The 4Aces GC star is taking the time at LIV Golf Korea 2026 to reflect on his Korean heritage and introduce his daughter to this background.
The timing could hardly be better: he's fresh off the second-best LIV Golf result of his comeback season. Two weeks ago at LIV Golf Virginia, AK fired a bogey-free 10-under 62 in the final round – his best round relative to par in 12 1/2 years. This sensational round was the spark for 4Aces GC, who fought their way into a team playoff and ultimately claimed the victory.
The Leap into the Top 200
This wasn't just any performance: with 8.38 Strokes Gained on the field, it was the tenth-best Strokes Gained round in LIV Golf history. Just a year and a half ago, Kim languished at 2,289th in the Official World Golf Ranking, and the start of his comeback was tough. Virginia has catapulted him where few expected him to be so quickly: back into the world's Top 200 for the first time since 2012. He's performing incredibly well.
Swagger Offensive
His reaction to this success? Typical Kim. "I don't give a damn what anyone thinks about me," he snapped. His comeback is primarily fueled by this inimitable swagger – a weapon that few wield on the course like him.
