PGA Tour's Sungjae Im was spotted with LIV Golf's Anthony Kim during a sponsor's event. The South Korean golfer started his 2025 Tour campaign by playing at the Sentry last week. However, he missed this week's Sony Open in Hawaii. Meanwhile, Anthony Kim is also having time away from official tournaments as the Saudi league is yet to start its 2025 season.
Sungjae Im and Anthony Kim were spotted together at the Titleist Performance Institute in Oceanside, CA. Nuclear Golf shared a picture of them from their outing on its X (formerly Twitter) account.
Sungjae Im donned a blue polo paired with black pants, while Kim wore a white t-shirt and pink shorts for the golf outing. Sharing the picture, Nuclr Golf wrote:

Notably, Anthony Kim was out of the limelight for over a decade due to injury. However, he finally returned to play the sport with a wildcard entry in LIV Golf last year.
Following his return, Kim became very active on social media and often shared pictures of his personal and professional life online.
However, on the greens, the American struggled with his game throughout the last season of LIV Golf. He played in 11 tournaments and concluded the season in the 56th position on the season-ending standings in 2024.
The 2025 LIV Golf season will start its first event in February. The fourth edition of the series will begin in Saudi Arabia in Riyadh from February 6 to 8 at Riyadh Golf Club.

In the second round, Im started with a bogey on the first hole and added another on the third hole. He made four birdies on the front nine and four on the back nine for a round of 6-under 67.
After two decent rounds, Sungjae Im was impressive in the third round, playing a bogey-free round. He made three birdies and an eagle on the front nine and six birdies on the back nine for an 11-under 62. He again played bogey-free in the final round, sinking eight birdies, including three on the front nine and five on the back nine. He wrapped up at 29-under, finishing in third place.
