The Anthony Kim experiment failed miserably in the end, and he has now been left in limbo after being relegated from the LIV Golf League.

Kim has endured somewhat of a nightmare since joining LIV Golf at the start of the 2024 season, when he was added to the league as a ‘wildcard’ player.

His first season with the Saudi-backed golf league proved to be hard work to say the least, with his best result a 36th place finish at LIV Greenbrier.

However, before the 2025 season began, Kim suggested that he was ready to contend at LIV events.

That obviously didn’t prove to be the case, though. The 40-year-old only recorded two top-30 finishes – a T-25 in Dallas and T-29 in Miami.

Unsurprisingly, Kim’s season on LIV ended in relegation.

Kim is clearly a long way off the levels required to play at the very highest level right now.

The former PGA Tour star finished well over par in most of the tournaments he played this year.

In fact, he only finished even-par or better twice in 2025 and three times in 2024.

Kim failed to record a single point during his time with LIV, and now he will have to go back to the drawing board during the off-season.

But how much did Kim earn during his time with LIV Golf?

A paltry sum of $1.22 million through his finishes in the 24 events that he played.

His signing on fee was rumoured to be around $7.25 million, so he has still earned very good money over the past 18 months.

Quite what the future holds for Kim remains to be seen, though.

What are Anthony Kim’s options now and can he qualify for LIV Golf again?

Kim does have a couple of options if he is indeed keen to return to the LIV Golf setup.

Firstly, Kim could head off to the Asian Tour and play in the International Series – with the player topping those standings after the 10 events earning a LIV Golf spot for 2026.

However, four of those events have already been played, so Kim would be playing catch-up from the start.

If Kim doesn’t fancy putting in the hard yards and trekking across Asia, he could try LIV’s Promotions Event held in December at Riyadh Golf Club, with one place available on LIV in 2026.

Much will depend on whether he actually wants to keep playing professionally.

He has gone through some really difficult times in his personal life over the past decade.

And with that in mind, relegation from LIV Golf shouldn’t be a big concern for Anthony Kim. He is clearly very content in his life right now, and that is by far the most important thing.
