According to a report, Anthony Kim, the once prominent PGA Tour player, is gearing up to make his comeback at an upcoming LIV Golf event. Kim, 38, who last played professionally in 2012, is reportedly finalizing a deal to join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf, as revealed by the Golf Channel.

The golfer's hiatus from the sport was attributed to a ruptured Achilles tendon, and speculations arose that his $10 million insurance policy would be forfeited if he returned to competitive play. However, LIV Golf's lucrative offers seem to have enticed Kim back into the spotlight as he is poised to become one of the "wild card" players on the tour's roster.

During his time on the PGA Tour, Kim achieved fame by winning three events and capturing the attention of fans with his vibrant personality and playing style. Notably, he set a record for the most birdies in a single round at the Masters in 2009, marking his talent and potential on the course.

LIV Golf's forthcoming event is scheduled to take place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, next weekend, with another event lined up in Hong Kong the following week. Golf enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting Kim's official confirmation of his return, eager to witness how the seasoned player will fare after his extended absence from the competitive scene.
