Will Anthony Kim be at the LIV Golf season opener in Mexico? All you need to know
Anthony Kim, who has been on a hiatus since 2012, is reportedly making a return and is most likely to tee off at this week's LIV Golf Mayakoba event. Kim is in talks with LIV Golf's CEO Greg Norman for a potential one-year deal, as per Golf.com.
However, there is still no sign of him playing on the circuit as of now. Things will get clearer as golfers tee off at this week's Mayakoba event on Friday, February 2, in Mexico. The roster for the circuit will be confirmed ahead of the season-opening Mayakoba event.
This year's LIV Golf is likely to have an increased field. But the format of the series and the purse will remain the same. LIV Golf will have 13 teams competing in the third season, along with two individual players, making it a complete roster of 54 players.
Besides Anthony Kim, several other golfers linked to LIV Golf will play at the Mayakoba event.
English golfer Tyrrell Hatton will reportedly tee off on the Saudi circuit in Jon Rahm's Legion XIII. Adrian Meronk is also rumored to compete on the Saudi circuit and will be joining Martin Kaymer's Cleeks GC.
Amateur golfer Caleb Surratt will reportedly join Jon Rahm's Legion XIII along with a newly added member of LIV Golf, Kieran Vincent.
According to a recent report by Fox Sports, Lucas Herbert will also tee off at the Mayakoba event. The Aussie is said to be joining Cameron Smith's Ripper GC.
