Anthony Kim will have full playing privileges on LIV Golf in 2026 after a stellar showing in Florida last week.
Kim lost his LIV card in 2025 after suffering relegation but he has shown real mental strength in bouncing straight back with some stunning golf during the LIV Golf Promotions 2026 event.
The LIV Golf Promotions took place last week at Black Diamond Ranch in Florida.
Some big names entered the LIV Promotions event including former Ryder Cup star Chris Wood.

Only three players were eventually awarded LIV cards for 2026, with Kim nabbing the final spot after rounds of 66 and 69 on Saturday and Sunday respectively.
Phil Mickelson was delighted to see Kim perform so well, as he praised his fellow American on X.
Kim has been sent plenty of other well-wishes too.
Billy Horschel reacts as Anthony Kim earns his LIV card for 2026
Billy Horschel has been very open in the past about how the PGA Tour and LIV Golf need to coexist.
In fact, he has taken a far more reasonable and unbiased stance on the matter than many of his PGA Tour peers.
So perhaps it shouldn’t be a surprise then that Horschel offered such a sincere message of congratulations to Kim on Sunday night.
He said: “Congrats AK!“
And then responded directly to Kim’s message by saying: “Massive respect AK!“
Horschel is obviously a big fan of what Kim has achieved, and how could you not be?
The LIV golfer has struggled with a crippling addiction over the past decade or so but he has found sobriety and, clearly, a certain level of peace in his life again.
We wish Anthony Kim the best of luck moving forward.
Anthony Kim sends message after earning 2026 LIV Golf card
Kim has worked so hard over the past couple of years to rediscover his best form.
Why should Brooks Koepka be allowed back on the PGA Tour?
He made his bed, now he should have to lie in it…right?
He struggled badly on LIV in 2025 but this will be a long process for the 40-year-old.
Kim proved last week in Florida that he has actually taken huge strides during the off-season and he took to his X account after his round in reaction to earning full playing privileges on LIV for the 2026 season.
Kim will be hoping to produce some consistent form on LIV Golf in 2026.
If he continues along his current trajectory then who knows, perhaps he could actually contend to win tournaments again.
Right now though, the fact that Kim is enjoying playing and competing should be enough for him, considering what he’s been through over the past decade or so.
