Played with a 16 year old Anthony Kim in a 2002 local U.S. open qualifier and as soon as I saw his first hole I knew this guy was special. Following his career and disappearance was heartbreaking. He was a great kid when I played with him but listening to him now as a man that went through hell, saved by good women in his life I can’t help but keep routing for him. Anthony if you by chance read this we believe in you and win a tournament or not, you have already won in life.
Usually i get bored with these sort of videos but you can’t ignore the quality of content. Not just some interview. Going out on a course where he’s comfortable and just conversation between two golf legends. That’s how it’s done
@@travissmith712 you serious? He was an amazingly talented player before he left. He might not have won very much but he was gifted as a player. People really did think he had potential to be a top 10 player had he kept going.
Feherty is a pub/bar legend, not a Golf legend. And having dealt with him personally, he is more miserable a cretin than even Curtis Strange!! C'mon LIV fans.. keep the sh!t at shoe level. We are here for A.Kim, period.
What do you mean, the fact that he is alive, did he try to commit suicide. I haven’t heard anything about Anthony since he retired/quit golf professionally.
I hope Anthony knows how many of us are not only rooting for him but also absolutely appreciate him sharing his journey with us. I'd love to see him win every tournament but as long as he's content and happy, that makes me happy as an AK fan.
I liked the guy too, but at this time he couldn't play/qualify for the Korn Ferry Tour. He's.come in last place 2 straight times and I'm sure LIV paid $millions. LIV is a chosen, pay millions, non inclusive golf tour. If they allowed to do this, they can do it with baseball, football, and basketball. Not really because these are poor folks sports, but cricket, tennis, horse/car racing, and golf, Mmmmm? LIV can only help a few chosen golfers. Not one college golfer has been given a chance and they won't do it. Crap golf and I hope It fails. I am wrong, didn't all of them/most couldn't wait to leave the Tours? Now all of them want to be part and play on the PGA tour . A bunch of money grubbing liars. I for one have not missed any one of them. Watching the PGA and the new and upcoming golf talent has been great 👍
This video is what golf is truly all about a superstar in the making falls off no one knows what happens. He comes back like a different person in a whole different form with a desire to win not only tournaments but life more than ever. Class act LIV Golf!
Pulling for you AK. Love to hear you speak about being a dad and the love you have for your family. Just seeing you out in the limelight is a WIN! Good luck to you and hope to see you back in the winner circle with the rest of your golfing career. Great interview David! 👍
I got a buddy who 12 years ago was a scratch golfer, successful mortgage broker from a great family and a house on the water. Fast forward to today lives in a tent because of drugs. Wish he could figure it out. I’m rooting for AK
@@Bupkus68It's sad that most people's reactions to that which they're ignorant is to laugh and mock. I had an addiction problem for most of my adult life. I wanted something better but was powerless. So I'm my desperation, I cried out for Jesus to save me, and He did precisely that and more. Fast-forward several years, and I'm clean, restored to my family, and own my own business. So, yes, "that'll do it."
I just don't get people that work so hard and have so much to just give it all away in return for drugs- then again, I'm not an addict so how could I understand?
Anthony Kim was my favorite player when I had just started taking up golf and I never understood what happened to him. I'm glad to see him back back out there and giving it a go. I'll be back watching and rooting for AK like the old days!
What a bunch of know-alls responding to your comment. Feherty is a journalist. For one thing, his book Somewhere in Ireland a Village is Missing an Idiot is a collection of many columns he wrote for Golf Magazine and other publications. It’s funny as hell. He got into broadcasting because of his golf career, followed by his journalism career. But don’t let the facts get in the way of your brilliant comments.
@@roxanneb8844 what a joke. By your definition, there isn’t a single journalist left. Please list anyone in the media that doesn’t play loose with the facts.
Regardless of how broken you are, always remember that you can and will heal. AK is the perfect example. I can appreciate his resilience and motivation to improve his game. Yet, more than anything, I admire the importance AK has dedicated to his family. Well done!
The average person does not have friends family and strangers willing to help them at low points. However, I am happy to see Mr Kim accept the second chances
What an amazing story, this guy was my idol when I was 10 back in 2008 as we are both American South Korean. Now 26 > I’ve had some low points in my life & this gives me hope I’ll find true happiness like Anthony did 💙⛳️
I was always a huge fan of Anthony and his style. It’s so inspiring hearing him talk about his struggles, and how he’s facing them. Having been to the dark side myself, I’d love to hear more about his journey. Wishing him nothing but the best
No, he is copying tiger...again. he had his chance. It would not be fair to others who grind day in and day out and put in the effort to be a part of this game. This guy had his chance and he blew it. Nobody cares about this guy anymore. And why should they? He is a junky. He will most likely get right back into his old habits if he gets into golf. Golf was the poison for this guy and he is stepping right back into the thing that ruined his life.
I am so grateful to be able to see Ak play again. I wish more people could share the cheer for him and give him endless support. Wish only the best for you Ak 🎉
So comforting to have a strong woman supporting you. How could anyone not fall in love with such an adorable daughter. Awesome that he recognizes that and is working on himself.
12 years is a long long time. At times he comes across as defeated and vulnerable but certainly humbled. Feherety can certainly relate. Still, he has a beautiful family and that seems to be a very good motivator for him to want to be a better man. Good on you AK! All the very best!
From a first hand point of view I can probably relate to some of the struggles A.K. Is alluding too in the past. And there’s absolutely nothing harder to overcome in life. Only unconditional love from someone that you love can help bring you back to the surface. Seems like he would agree with this. I’ll be watching every swing he makes, thanks to the wizards at LIV + ❤❤ Go A. K. Go !!!
There were a couple moments in this where the smile came out and it was the exact smile AK had when he was playing 12 years ago. He was captivating and made us all want to have more fun on the course. I’m glad he is getting things together, but above all, I hope he never forgets to smile.
I wish Anthony all the best in live as a father, husband, and also as a professional golfer. Great that LIV embraced both these two real persons. Well done David.
I’m guessing they will only be giving him this year tbh as I think most of the captains only got 3-4 years … but if he gets relegated there will be a Asian tour card and access to the international series as backup is assume. So there is a safety net
I love this. I'ma huge AK fan. I ran around Quail Hollow all day with his dad the year AK won there. The only thing his dad said to me all day were 3 words. "He will win". Enjoy your comeback. I'ma fan for life
This feels so good!! I really love to play golf but when I see players like this guy who has a lot of beautiful stories makes me feel I'm learning more than a game of golf.
So glad I got to see this. Thanks to you both. I’d been wondering for years what happened to Anthony. Interesting to hear his story and so well done David. Great to have you back Anthony. Good luck.
I am really glad golf between LIV, full swing and youtube are showing behind the scenes of these guys for what it takes to be at their level, the toll it takes on them and their stories.
Anthony Kim, what a man! Knows he was not doing well through the years and was able in the last few to get back on track. He was very fortunate that he has a great support group. His wife is fantastic sticking with him. It is very difficult when you slide down the slope and the further you slide the more demons appear. I have known many veterans with tremendous mental issues, but with no support group at all. For many of them, it did not go well for them. I know the darkness personally, and have been battling the demons for 54 years, it is a daily struggle walking the tightrope, trying not to fall in the wrong direction. My wife, I think deep down knows that she has saved my life many many times. My wife never gave up on me. I believe Anthony Kim will be back with full power on, as now, he has purpose!
Always loved watching him play and remember the Masters where he made 11 birdies in one round. I would love to see him playing in Majors and winning again. Good luck AK!
This is really great! Thanks for starting to tell this powerful redemption story! So glad Anthony Kim has already won with the peace and purpose you can see in his life now.
Great video, I learned some things about Anthony Kim I didn't know. Glad he is better and turning his life around. I loved watching him years ago kicking butt on the PGA tour. Wishing him much success on LIV!!!
That is beautiful man! I’m riveted and Anthony Kim just became my favorite golfer. I will be rooting for you every time ❤ Your story will inspire so many. Let’s go Baby
I believe this is what AK said on the course many years ago. “I don’t dwell on my previous shots. With that time, I think about how I’m gonna play my next shot.” I’m glad that you applied that to life as well. I’m rooting for you and looking forward to seeing you when you play in my state!!!
There seems to be some confusion about when he started playing golf again. From what I heard on the broadcast in each of the two events, he was playing golf last year and broke his ankle which prevented him from playing for a while. He started to prepare for professional golf again a few months ago.
pretty amazing interview. Thankful to see AK playing again and really inspiring to see him and hear his story. Can't wait for the documentary. One of my favorite players ever.
I saw AK today in Adelaide - very humble and his action, which wasn't his best today, was amazing to see. Gave him a shout out and he acknowledged, top bloke IMO.
I suppose this is what LIV is about and its really refreshing. I threw away a lot of great years to addiction and I don't want to miss another moment of this great life and my childrens lives. Yes helping others is the key for guys like us, it is our way out.
How many of us men in our late 30’s and early 40’s can relate to AK. I know I can. Spent most of my 30’s alone with my 2 dogs because I was so tired of getting hurt by the world
Love an honest story. All of us have a redemption story but most of us keep it hidden because we fear what others may think of us. Thank-you Anthony and David for sharing yours, you will both help a lot of people.
Great to see Anthony back on the golf course competing. Even better to see him get past the troubles that plagued him for almost 12 years. But the real story is how Greg Norman went out of his way to give Anthony a chance to return to professional golf. Greg had empathy for the guy when the PGAT surely had stipulation after stipulation just to get a chance to compete. I would suspect the PGAT would have forced AK to go through Korn Ferry qualifying to get a Korn Ferry card. So I believe while Anthony is to be commended for turning his life around, Greg Norman deserves a lot of credit for reaching out and giving Anthony a place to play.
Puhleeze.... Norman sees AK as most people do when driving by a bad accident - we have to look. He's a freak show, and will never be close to competitive again. He's a mere novelty and Greg and LIV will do anything to try to vitalize his weak product...
@@kyledavis635 is puhleeze supposed to mean anything to me? It doesn’t. You ma be correct about Anthony Kim, but you state it as if it’s a fact. The 65 he shot in Hong Kong proves he has the potential to return to form from more than 12 years ago, and that’s a fact. Very easy to be a LIV hater when the golf and sports media only bash them. It also proves that you’re not a golf fan. You’re a PGA Tour cheer leader or a lemming easily manipulated by a biased media.
The first half I was concerned this was just a softball puff piece. Then it became very clear that David was being kind and understanding, and that so much was being said with so few words. I’ve seen family and friends go through similar journeys, and statistically the odds of redemption are sadly so low. Let’s hope Anthony has an incredible bogey bounceback and knows that so many of us are rooting for him.
For those who are not familiar with AK, he's an incredibly talented golfer. I've always been a fan of his, am I'm so happy to see him back! Great interview by Ferety too! I'm pulling for you AK, and happy to see you have such a beautiful family.
I love how David does his interviews. He has such a talent. He is what is bring me and others to LIV. we need better coverage. To be able to sit down in the span of a football game and watch the entire tournament take place. It is so much more exciting. I cannot wait to go to a liv event here in the states, if they would only get Daly, wow
Super happy to see him playing again, even though it's really sad what happened. For a solid stretch of years this guy was #2 in popularity to Tiger. He was so good and so much fun to watch. Crushing his irons with that huge belt buckle, he had a lot of style and played really aggressive. He never won a major but he was getting close when he disappeared. I would love to see him playing in big tournaments again.
I just wish AK a happy life. I remember when he withdrew at Quail Hollow. To think then it would be 12 years before he is golfing again, is crazy. You still have fans out here rooting for you.
Speaking solely for golf, I hope in this chapter Anthony finds inspiration to become great again and remind so many of us that remember him what he used to be and showcase to the newer audience who he is. Godspeed, AK. Let's get after it!
Gold to see AK out there again and falling in love with the game we all love. Golf loves a great comeback story. We all need a little help sometimes and to face our battles and demons on and off the course. It’s just one day at a time and one golf shot at a time.
I remember watching the 08 Ryder cup and this man was incredible that week. I remember thinking “this guy is going to be #1” I’m so happy to see him back
Good interview, welcome back AK . It’s tough for Feherty to give an interview as such because he lost a son to some of the same things Anthony opened up about . Positive times moving forward .
For some reason, the testimonial of “feeling alone in a room full of people”, or in the case of AK “feeling alone with a million people around” is: 1) one of the first things you will hear in any fellowship based recovery program; and 2) a feeling shared by nearly everyone who truly needs said fellowship based recovery program. Something about that concise statement rings true and cuts to our core.
Played with a 16 year old Anthony Kim in a 2002 local U.S. open qualifier and as soon as I saw his first hole I knew this guy was special. Following his career and disappearance was heartbreaking.

@Singlebarrel2323 ok so he was gifted then, but not a legend. He didn't really win much and won't be recognized for great accomplishments in golf.
Everybody loves a redemption story. The fact he is alive is a win in itself.

I hope Anthony knows how many of us are not only rooting for him but also absolutely appreciate him sharing his journey with us. I'd love to see him win every tournament but as long as he's content and happy, that makes me happy as an AK fan.

The most interesting thing that has come out of LIV golf in 3 years.
Great to see Anthony back on the golf course competing. Even better to see him get past the troubles that plagued him for almost 12 years.

Let’s give Ak and his family the grace and space to see what he can do,I m rooting for him!
Great interview!! Very inspirational!
The first half I was concerned this was just a softball puff piece. Then it became very clear that David was being kind and understanding, and that so much was being said with so few words. I’ve seen family and friends go through similar journeys, and statistically the odds of redemption are sadly so low. Let’s hope Anthony has an incredible bogey bounceback and knows that so many of us are rooting for him.
For those who are not familiar with AK, he's an incredibly talented golfer. I've always been a fan of his, am I'm so happy to see him back! Great interview by Ferety too! I'm pulling for you AK, and happy to see you have such a beautiful family.
Great interview, even better conversation that raises awareness about difficult personal circumstances and situations. Well done all involved ❤
So glad AK is finding his way back to living life. He is good for the game of golf and his comeback is inspiring.
I love how David does his interviews. He has such a talent. He is what is bring me and others to LIV. we need better coverage. To be able to sit down in the span of a football game and watch the entire tournament take place. It is so much more exciting. I cannot wait to go to a liv event here in the states, if they would only get Daly, wow
We love AK! Great interview 🙌
Super happy to see him playing again, even though it's really sad what happened. For a solid stretch of years this guy was #2 in popularity to Tiger. He was so good and so much fun to watch. Crushing his irons with that huge belt buckle, he had a lot of style and played really aggressive. He never won a major but he was getting close when he disappeared. I would love to see him playing in big tournaments again.
Great interview! Let’s go AK! Wishing you the best!
I just wish AK a happy life. I remember when he withdrew at Quail Hollow. To think then it would be 12 years before he is golfing again, is crazy. You still have fans out here rooting for you.
Great interview David as always.
Rooting for you AK!!!
I wish nothing but the best for him in his journey. Godspeed Anthony.
Thanks for your inspiration AK. Great interview David.
Enjoyed this video.
Always thought AK was a joy to watch years ago. Wish him all the best.
Like Feherty, too
Didnt really know him b4 a week ago, but def rooting for this dude now!
Is he playing in the Masters?
His game is a very long ways away from playing the Masters.
Proud of you AK! Think how hard recovering is, then add on millions of people watching your every move!
We all love you Anthony ! Proud of you :)
Speaking solely for golf, I hope in this chapter Anthony finds inspiration to become great again and remind so many of us that remember him what he used to be and showcase to the newer audience who he is. Godspeed, AK. Let's get after it!
Wishing him the best! Inspiring to listen to and love his honesty. With a clear head he’ll be back in no time. Let’s go Kim!
He speaks powerfully and wisely. We want him to succeed and stay on the right track.
I grew up watching both of these guys. Love this interview, rooting for AK
Welcome back AK! Looking forward to watching you. God bless you.
Anybody know where to get that shirt?
Gold to see AK out there again and falling in love with the game we all love. Golf loves a great comeback story. We all need a little help sometimes and to face our battles and demons on and off the course. It’s just one day at a time and one golf shot at a time.
I remember watching the 08 Ryder cup and this man was incredible that week. I remember thinking “this guy is going to be #1” I’m so happy to see him back
Good for you bro. Such a talent. Welcome back
Miss Anthony on the course! Welcome back! You take care of yourself and your family(#1 priority)
Good interview, welcome back AK . It’s tough for Feherty to give an interview as such because he lost a son to some of the same things Anthony opened up about . Positive times moving forward .
Would love to see this guy winning again. Great seeing him back. All the best AK!! 👍🏻
Was not expecting to be moved by this video. Great job!
Great video. Great interview. And a greater story.
His story would make a great movie! Good luck AK ! Wishing you the best
For some reason, the testimonial of “feeling alone in a room full of people”, or in the case of AK “feeling alone with a million people around” is: 1) one of the first things you will hear in any fellowship based recovery program; and 2) a feeling shared by nearly everyone who truly needs said fellowship based recovery program.
Something about that concise statement rings true and cuts to our core.
What a heartwarming story!
Good to see you back, man.
Best thing to come from Liv
