In a surprising move, veteran golfer Anthony Kim is joining Dustin Johnson's 4Aces GC for the remainder of the 2026 LIV Golf season. This marks a significant shift for Kim, who previously competed as an independent Wild Card player. The announcement was made just before the highly anticipated opening round of LIV Golf Adelaide.

Why it matters

Kim's comeback story has been closely watched since he resumed his professional golf career in 2024 after a 12-year hiatus. His addition to the dominant 4Aces team, which won five out of eight events in LIV Golf's inaugural 2022 season, is sure to spark interest and speculation about the team's continued dominance.

The details

Kim's spot as a Wild Card will be filled by Miguel Tabuena, who finished third in last year's International Series season-long rankings. At 40 years old, Kim is coming off his best result in 25 LIV Golf starts, tying for 22nd at the ROSHN Group LIV Golf Riyadh last week. After two years of working through the rust, his recent performances suggest he's back in top form.

  • On Thursday, the announcement was made just before the opening round of LIV Golf Adelaide.
  • In November, Kim tied for fifth at the PIF Saudi International, his first top-10 finish since returning.
  • Last week in Riyadh, Kim outperformed Tabuena by seven shots.

What they’re saying

“I'm thrilled to be joining the team. This is a fresh start, and I hope to contribute to the team's success.”

— Anthony Kim

“We're thrilled to have AK on board. He's on an upward trajectory. After such a long break from the game, it takes time to get back into the swing of things. But I've played with him enough to know that he's still got it. He's been working incredibly hard, and I think he'll be a fantastic addition to the team.”

— Dustin Johnson, 4Aces GC Captain

“We've been following his journey since he joined the league two years ago, and he's been consistently improving. We initially thought our team was set for the season, but then we had to reconsider. Dustin and I explored various options. We made offers to other players, but those deals fell through. Ultimately, we decided that Anthony was our best choice.”

— Chris Rosaasen, 4Aces General Manager

What’s next

The judge in the case will decide on Tuesday whether or not to allow Walker Reed Quinn out on bail.

Kim's addition to the dominant 4Aces team is an exciting development in the world of LIV Golf, as the veteran golfer looks to continue his comeback and help the team maintain its dominance in the league.
