The LIV Golf schedule arrived back in Jeddah for the third event of the 2024 season.
You could’ve been forgiven for thinking the LIV recruitment team was done with its work, but now Anthony Kim has joined the ranks after a 12-year hiatus.
The American played as a wildcard player as opposed to being part of a team, and he competed for the winner’s cheque of $4 million.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t the performance we all envisaged. Kim carded rounds of six-over, six-over and four-over-par to finish in last place on 16-over-par.
$4 million is the lion’s share of the $25 million purse which was again won by Joaquin Niemann by four shots this time at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in Saudi Arabia.
Crushers GC featuring Bryson DeChambeau, Charles Howell III, Anirban Lahiri and Paul Casey bagged the $3 million team prize which is divided among each successful player.
Legion XIII GC and Smash GC had respectively won each of the first two events of the third LIV Golf season, while Niemann and Dustin Johnson won the first two individual titles.
The usual suspects on LIV Golf’s roster competed at this regular season event as the season builds towards the summer.
Jon Rahm, Talor Gooch, Cameron Smith, Patrick Reed, Peter Uihlein, Carlos Ortiz, Graeme McDowell and Abraham Ancer were all in the field.
