Weekend Chat: It’s Time to Talk About Anthony Kim

Happy March, everyone. It’s officially the month that is supposed to feel like spring but almost always just brings more cold days and disappointment. Maybe I’m just a hardened Midwesterner. Comment section is where it always is. Get to it.

Your weekly question

Today, Anthony Kim played his first round in competition in more than a decade. He’s been a lightening rod for conversation. And yet, it’s been a very strange reappearance. He hasn’t spoken publicly and LIV has largely been quiet on the matter, almost certainly a term of his contract with them. Personally, I’ve been rather bummed out that he returned in this matter.

My question to you all, is his reemergence a net positive for golf fans in 2024? If so, how? If not, what hasn’t been appealing about it to you?

Today’s music submission comes from Cameron, although there is never a bad time to toss on a classic.

And a note to anyone looking to play the header image game — this is not the course profile of next week, but I think it’s a fun photo to see if you can figure out which course it belongs to. Best of luck.
