Tiger Woods ex coach makes Anthony Kim claim ahead of LIV Golf return
Tiger Woods' former long-time golf coach Hank Haney has some words of encouragement for Anthony Kim ahead of his return to the LIV Golf League in 2025.
Tiger Woods' former long-time golf swing coach Hank Haney believes Anthony Kim is on the right path to resurrect his pro golf career ahead of returning to the LIV Golf League in 2025.
Haney took to X / Twitter to offer some words of encouragement for the former U.S. Ryder Cup hero.
Kim, 39, returned to professional golf last season after years away from the sport.
Prior to joining LIV Golf as a wildcard, Kim's last pro appearance was on the PGA Tour in 2012.
Kim is believed to have had an insurance policy that would pay him $10-20m in the case of a career-ending injury.
