Anthony Kim - Gawd I miss this guy (THREADS MERGED)

Respectable in this case is relative.  If he finishes DFL by a bunch on an “easy” layout he’s still liable to look foolish by comparison.

 

Nobody will give a look beyond "Anthony Kim shot 68" or "Anthony Kim made 6 birdies [even if he shoots 79]" if he does - nobody is making serious dives into analytics in a LIV golf event among those who are watching, it's all about whatever narrative they may have the ability to push, no surprise there.

Money games, lol, whatever they are, mean very little and he's playing with money from the same house. 

Of course it depends on the buy in.  If he’s just playing skins for $20 a

hole, he’s probably not sweating it.  But if it’s $20,000 a side….

 

And yes, when he’s playing LIV it’s all from the same pool.  Not so when he

was playing the car dealers.  

[Soloman1]

maybe he can play a little now or maybe not.

only one thing for sure, a golfwrx topic salivating and asking where to buy the belt buckle he’s wearing.

[shoot4par]

This one is going to crash golfwrx

SWEET!  Should be more interesting than watching Tiger WD 

 

Something entertaining until the MASTERS anyway.

Good fit. A semi-famous former professional golfer gets free ride into limited field tour consisting of many semi-famous professional golfers whose games are in the past.

 And still finish ahead of Martin Kaymer 😁

Blandy deserves to be co-captain. I’ll consider switching my allegiance if we get Blandy and AK on the same team

Check out the leaderboards of the full field majors over the last year.

But every time “car dealers” is part of the money game conversation it just can’t be taken seriously - no insurance guys in Vegas? Those are the players!

That scares me - and not kidding.

Breaking … With Anthony Kim, LIV now gets OWGR status.

[GG43]

2008 Ryder Cup.  AK to Azinger, "I'm going to whup his a** for you today, captain," referring to Sergio.  AK wins 5 & 4.  Wishing Anthony Kim all the best.

I’ll be watching. Love me some AK

We need a WITB.

This will go very badly for AK and LIV

 

Hes 37 and hasn’t played tournament golf, much less pro golf, for how long

 

He will shoot a bunch of 80s, maybe 90s

 

It will be cool, then funny, then a bad joke

 

AK should have been bought in as an on course announcer or something. The “legend” status was cool, but this will go sideways fast

Maybe 90’s? I’ll take the under and give odds…

I’m not arguing that LIV has high quality players; Koepka and Rahm the most notable. I think Smith, BDC, and DJ are capable of big moments.  I think we’re still waiting on Niemann and maybe Gooch and a couple of others. After that are a number of players whose fame and game are behind them; maybe  I’ll be wrong (I am often), but I think the latter group will be where AK lands. The other way to look at it is, I bet he finishes top-50!

And with a divisor of zero AK re-enters at number one in the OGWR and is exempt for all four majors.

ibm! Wasssuup?!

 

 

 

 

Well, I’ll defer to your opinion, what do you think he averages over 3 rounds?

 

 

Im thinking…82

 

To shoot 80, he needs to par 10 holes, and bogey 8 holes. 

And that’s with no blowups. 
 

I don’t think he can manage that 

 

What say you? 🍻 

[pingbling23]

im looking forward to see what game he has left.
