ADELAIDE, Australia, Feb 15, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - An "overwhelmed" Anthony Kim outplayed two-time major winner Jon Rahm to capture his maiden LIV Golf title Sunday and first on any tour since 2010 to complete an amazing redemption story. After battling drug and alcohol addiction and suicidal thoughts, he returned to the sport in 2024 as a wildcard on the Saudi-backed LIV Tour. He was relegated last season but earned his way back at last month's LIV Golf Promotions when he claimed one of three qualifying spots. Kim then got offered a full-time position with Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC for the 2026 season when Patrick Reed suddenly quit to play on the DP World Tour. Kim was coming off his best result in his 25 LIV Golf starts, a tie for 22nd at last week's season-opening tournament in Riyadh.
