LIV Golfer Anthony Kim has lifted the lid on a number of hard-hitting issues from throughout his life in a fascinating interview with David Feherty called ‘The Journey Back’.
The 38-year-old – who makes his first start on US soil in 12 years this weekend – was known as a mercurial figure during the first part of his professional golf career between 2006-2012 as a result of his aggressive style of golf and outlandish confidence.

Kim revealed that he had undergone several rounds of various surgeries – including spinal fusion surgery, the same procedure that Tiger Woods experienced in 2017.
Kim said: “I had multiple, multiple surgeries in a few years. My body is still not what it used to be.” After being posed whether all of his surgeries involved his Achilles, Kim said: “No, shoulder surgeries, hand surgery, spinal fusion. I’ve had a lot of injuries and a lot of surgeries.
“I think I’m actually hitting the ball further now than when I left the game, so maybe some of this metal is helping. But I’m hoping I don’t have any more surgeries…
