Background

Anthony Kim is an American professional golfer who emerged as one of the most promising young talents in the late 2000s before injuries and a prolonged hiatus from competitive golf. Born and raised in the United States, Kim was part of a generation of American golfers who sought to challenge the dominance of international stars in the PGA Tour.
