How does a golf champion who has made a tremendous recovery deal with another health setback? Anthony Kim, the talented golfer who recently made news by returning to the professional ranks through LIV Golf, has revealed that he has a blood clot in his leg. This information follows his well-publicized return following a 12-year absence characterized by personal struggles and injuries.
Kim, 39, shared his recent health crisis on social media. Before the LIV Golf event in Riyadh, he described being ill for two weeks, citing due to a blood clot. Kim assured followers that he would be alright despite the concerning news, saying that physicians had taken wonderful care of him.
Kim’s turbulent return to the sport makes this development all the more heartbreaking. He had formerly been ranked as high as No. 6 in the world, but an Achilles injury in 2012 put an end to his career, necessitating numerous surgeries, including ones on his hand, shoulder, and spine. During his absence from the sport, Kim struggled with addiction and “very dark demons.” Speaking candidly, he disclosed that he had once been told by physicians that he “may not have much time left,” which served as a sobering reminder for him to get help and change his life.
His triumphant comeback to professional golf in early 2024 was well-praised and served as a testament to his tenacity and resolve. But his recent health issue highlights how flimsy his recovery is. Kim’s supporters and the golf world at large are coming together in the hopes that he will heal quickly and continue to play golf. As Kim overcomes this most recent obstacle, his story serves as a reminder to all of us of the strength of tenacity in the face of difficulty and a monument to the human spirit’s unbreakable resilience.
