On Draftkings he is the 33rd favorite - there are 15 guys with worse odds than him. 

Better odds than Phony Phil? That would be tremendous. Field is 54 players now FWIW.

Return to what?  He just finished T27 on Champions Tour this past weekend.  Not bad for a guy who spent more time playing hand ball vs golf the last few years.

Pretty good improvement after his first round. IIRC he was 3rd from last (65th or so). Shot 79.

It just embarrassing, there are actually real golfers below him on the list.

That is an absolute joke LOL. If he beats a handful of guys he should take it as a huge success.

Remember though, the odds are intended for betting purposes only…not where they really think he will finish.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the "El Pato" return...he was always one of my favorite players to watch.

That's just crazy.

Based on all of this talk they will likely go after young. Charlie next.🤣

I was a fan of AK's and rooted for him. I do hope he wins the first Even back and retires again. 

 

Even with his return I still have no interest in anything Norman LIV golf. Show more college golf on TV.

Was it a black eye on the pga tour when a 20 year old amateur won a tournament?  Anyone can spin any story to make it negative or positive.  I’m looking at Kim’s return as a positive regardless what happens.  A perfect story for him would be to improve each tournament he plays until he competes for wins.  That would make for a fun story line.  If he plays bad, oh well.  He tried.  There’s no denying the talent level on LIV so people using that argument are just haters and are not willing to debate in reality.

Yes, but, Dunlap was U.S. junior champ U.S. amateur champ World junior champ. Dunlap currently has a track record of winning elite championships AK’s current history not so much. Please don’t take this as me wishing him to do poorly. I hope he plays great. I just think there’s a lot to lose.

How can he have better odds than Phil ?

Phil won a major two years ago and finished second in one last year. I’m pretty sure AK didn’t win the members mixer 3rd flight! 
   Again, I find it interesting potential viewing. But I don’t have especially high hopes for him. I still think there’s zero chance he shoots 90 though. 

[ingy]

Do people understand that betting odds are set on what's best for the book maker? 

They are looking to cash in on some mug money and 'emotional bets', the odds have nothing to do with AK's actual chance of winning🤦‍♂️

He could win every liv tournament he plays in and I'd have the same interest in both him and liv I've always had.  Kim seems quite adept at taking the easy money, so he'll be playing where he belongs.

 

I hear Ty Tryon will be liv's next target!

 Followed by David Gossett.

This will be like Rocky III. The back nine on Sunday will be a knock down drag out back 9 with AK (Rocky) taking down Koepka (Clubber Lang).

Lol. I almost posted a Rocky reference earlier but I equated the PGA with Ivan Drago 😂

Tiger would be shoving him to the front of the line too 🤣

 

No way that kid lives up to those expectations - although I’d love it if he did.

At the moment I don’t think the expectations are high at all.  I’d love it if he did as well and maybe he will catch up for the early years he essentially ignored golf.

I wonder if he will be grouped with Sérgio for first round…

To all the Kim detractors...he doesn't give a s*** what the wrx keyboard boi's think about him. The comedy show continues. The laughs abound. Here's to another single malt...cin cin.

[jamiesd]

Kim was some talent back in the day.  It's all a bit strange, but hell i will be watching.....

Might have been mentioned. But I just came in.  It’s more like Revenge of the Sith …no?

AK has a visible tattoo that would never fly on the PGA tour.

150 over or under? 

[dcmidnight]

I've got a sleeve of balls bet that he finishes in the bottom half of the field. I think it will be absolutely incredible if he finishes in the top half - no matter what I may think of some of the old guys on LIV right now, they are at least seasoned professionals who have been in between the ropes the last few years. If he can beat 24 of them, I'll tip my cap.

Likely hasn't walked 54 holes in over a decade. 75 - 77 - 83
