Anthony Kim says golf only 'a fond memory' after dealing with injuries
Kim referred to Quail Hollow as the start of his career. "Hopefully, I can start a new one here," he said. Two days later, he shot 74 and walked straight to his car, dumped his clubs in the trunk and drove away.
That was 2012, and he hasn't been back.
"Golf is a fond memory of mine," Kim said Tuesday, his first interview in three years. "I've been watching more and more. I miss the competition a little bit. Watching these young guys like Jordan Spieth is bringing me back to watch."
Is it enough to bring him back to play?
"Here's what I'm telling you today," he said. "I'm going to step away from the game for a little while and get my body pieced together. Instead of going from an Achilles injury to try to go 180 mph and not fixing the problem ... I've got so much ground to make up from injuries — rotator cuff, labrum, spinal fusion, hand injury. I've had six or seven surgeries in the last three-and-a-half years."
Asked if it was possible that he played his last round on the PGA Tour at age 26, Kim paused, chuckled and said, "Anything is possible. Isn't that what the slogan says?"
