The 2024 LIV Golf Invitational Houston is underway at the Golf Club of Houston from June 7 to 9. The field features the former PGA Tour star, Anthony Kim, who currently sits tied for 45th place with Talor Gooch and Scott Vincent at one over par in the first round.
Anthony Kim has been rivals with former PGA Tour player and Golf Channel's Brandel Chamblee with ongoing feuds on social media. Recently on the "Country Club Adjacent Podcast" with Jake Adama and Griff Pippin, Kim went on to take another blast at Chamblee. Kim said,
" Guys like that are what's wrong with golf. Brandel talks about stuff he knows nothing about. I saw this interview that Mark Lye did and Brandel and David Duval were on the Golf Channel. Brandel went on and on about the Ryder Cup and what it's like in the Ryder Cup. How the f**k would you know? "
Anthony Kim went on to say that David Duval, who has played in the Ryder Cup many times in his career, has better knowledge about the tournament as compared to Brandel Chamblee, who has not played the event. Kim later said that Chamblee's notes would be more appreciated if they were voiced on "missing the cut" at a Korn Ferry Tour event.
In May 2024, Brandel Chamblee had taken jabs at Anthony Kim. Having voiced his opinions of the LIV Golf league, Chamblee went on to attack Kim by calling him a " juvenile" on a Golf WRX podcast. The commentator went on to say that Kim "behaves like children". To which, Kim responded with a post on his X handle.
" Again an inaccurate statement by someone who would know about hangin around ball pits when he left his family and four kids for someone half his age @GolfChannel. Very unprofessional. Also I’m not for sale I chose to play @livgolf_league bcuz it was best for me and my family. "
Anthony Kim back on Social Media
Having taken a 12-year-long break from social media and competitive golf, Anthony Kim has returned to platforms and stars in the LIV Golf league. Having suffered mental health issues and injuries that called for surgery, Kim uses his social media to open up and talk about his journey and progress.
He takes every opportunity available to thank the Saudi-based LIV Golf League for giving him opportunities to spend quality time with his family. Kim also uses his X platform to express his gratitude to his wife, Emily, and daughter, Isabella, who he credits for pulling him out of a dark place earlier.
In a recent post on X, Anthony Kim thanked his mother for all that she has done for him. He wrote,
" She sacrificed her life for me. Never took a vacation day, never bought anything for herself and endured so many tough years no one would wish on their worst enemy. That's 1 of the reasons I'm here. "
