Anthony Kim is staging a comeback through the Saudi-backed league after a hiatus of more than ten years from professional competition. The American professional golfer is poised to join the LIV Invitational Jeddah as a wildcard entrant.
According to multiple sources, Kim is set to make it back to the greens in Greg Norman's league, marking his return to golf. It was Norman who persuaded Kim to take up the sport once again after he stopped competing following his injuries in 2012.

“Multiple sources close to the player have confirmed that Anthony Kim has agreed terms to join LIV Golf and is expected to play as a ‘wildcard’ in Jeddah next week. Greg Norman was personally involved in negotiations and is believed to be the biggest factor in convincing him to return.”
