Anthony Kim sweats it out as he looks to lift the curse at LIV Golf Mexico City 2025

Anthony Kim made his return to professional golf after nearly 12 years when he signed with LIV Golf in 2024. While there were many expectations from the American, sadly he has not been able to live up to them. Until now, Kim is yet to register a win in the Saudi-backed tour.

The ongoing 2025 season has also not begun in the best possible manner for Kim. In the four events he has played until now, Kim has been nowhere close to winning. However, at the upcoming LIV Golf Mexico City event, the 39-year-old will be determined to lift the curse and potentially claim his first LIV Golf Individual title.

Anthony Kim was seen preparing for the same. On his Instagram story, Kim uploaded videos of him practicing his swings and putts at the Club de Golf Chapultepec, Mexico. You can check snippets of Kim's Instagram story below:
