Remember when golf’s big shots promised unity after those PGA Tour-LIV negotiations started? What a joke that turned out to be. Instead, the sport has become more divided than ever. Now, Anthony Kim has just lobbed the latest grenade in this never-ending war.
The LIV Golf star responded strongly to Golf Channel analyst Eamon Lynch‘s comments. Kim’s response targeted Lynch’s harsh remarks about Patrick Reed‘s potential inclusion in the Ryder Cup.
Lynch didn’t hold back during his Golf Today appearance. He called Reed’s potential team selection a recipe for disaster. “The idea of introducing toxicity into the team room makes no sense whatsoever,” Lynch declared. Then came the knockout punch: “And it doesn’t get much more toxic than Team Reed in golf.” Kim’s response was swift and direct. “Who in the f-ck is Aimee lynch?” he posted on X. “Wild that some1 who has never been in a team room talks like this? Stick Brandi & Aimee in a ‘team room’ 2gether.”
Brandel Chamblee suddenly found himself dragged into the Reed controversy when Kim mentioned “Brandi” in his explosive tweet. Kim’s suggestion to “Stick Brandi & Aimee in a ‘team room’ 2gether” deliberately targeted both analysts simultaneously. This tactical approach reveals Kim’s strategy of targeting multiple media figures simultaneously.

Kim’s decision to include Chamblee wasn’t random. Their bitter feud has become golf’s most personal media war. The June 2025 confrontation established Chamblee as Kim’s primary media nemesis. Now, Kim uses every opportunity to reignite their conflict.
Anthony Kim’s feud with Brandel Chamblee goes way back
The original Chamblee feud erupted over PGA Tour-LIV negotiations. Kim accused Chamblee of hypocrisy regarding potential merger discussions. However, their exchange quickly descended into personal attacks. Kim called Chamblee a “talentless fool” and made devastating family references, writing, “At least Phil Mickelson‘s kids still talk to him.”
Kim’s grouping of Lynch and Chamblee serves a calculated purpose rooted in his broader skepticism toward golf’s establishment. Having discussed being exploited by “bad people” during his career, Kim positions both analysts as representatives of golf’s disconnected media establishment. By attacking them together, he amplifies his anti-traditional media narrative while settling old scores alongside addressing current issues.
This pattern reflects Kim’s positioning as golf’s chief disruptor of the establishment, with a long memory for perceived slights. Current negotiations between tours remain stalled, with DOJ antitrust investigations complicating any potential merger. Until golf truly reunites, expect more calculated confrontations designed to create maximum chaos as Kim turns every media controversy into an opportunity to wage war against analysts he views as golf’s most significant problems.
This entire confrontation stems from Reed’s recent victory at the LIV Golf Dallas event. His first individual LIV title thrust him back into Ryder Cup conversation. Meanwhile, Reed’s controversial team room history continues to divide opinions about his chances of being selected for the 2025 Bethpage team. Lynch’s criticism wasn’t just about golf. He questioned Reed’s character entirely. Captain Keegan Bradley faces a tough decision about whether Reed’s talent outweighs his reputation.
