LIV Golf’s Anthony Kim jumps over 2,200 ranking spots after big outing in Qatar

LIV Golf's Anthony Kim leaped more than 2,200 spots in the OWGR after his outing at the International Series Qatar. He is currently ranked 2,314 after his T37 finish last week.

Kim entered the Doha Golf Club ranked 4,595th in the OWGR (Official World Golf Rankings). He played consistent golf throughout the week, shooting rounds of 71, 72, 73, and 71 to finish at 1-under after 72 holes. Among the 18 LIV Golfers who played this week, he tied for 14th.

Following his first cut in 12 years, Anthony Kim said it was only a matter of time before he would be back in contention for titles.

"I know a lot of people have probably seen my last year and don't think that's possible [contending for titles], but I think it’s going to happen," he said as per Gulf News. "I 100% believe in myself, and I think it's just a matter of time."

Although this is Kim's best ranking in twelve years, this is not his best-ever ranking. At his peak, he has reached as high as 6th in the OWGR. He won three titles on the PGA Tour in his career and the T3 finish at the 2008 Tour Championship helped him jump to his best-ever rankings.
