Anthony Kim Is No Golf Savior
As a millennial of a certain age, the sentimental part of me wants to watch Anthony Kim play golf again.
Kim, now 38 years old, once captivated the golf world—particularly my generation—with his play and personality in the late 2000s and early 2010s.
For me, the fascination with Kim can be explained in one moment. After he won the AT&T National in 2008, Kim was signing autographs when he was handed a flip phone. Tournament host Tiger Woods was on the other line.
“T-Dub, what’s up?” Kim said without breaking stride in his autograph signing.
The man called A.K. oozed charisma like that in a time period when golf was short on stars. This was before the prime of Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and other luminaries. When Kim won that event nearly 16 years ago, the top 10 of the Official World Golf Ranking read: Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott, Geoff Ogilvy, Stewart Cink, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia, Steve Stricker, Justin Rose and Vijay Singh.
