How long is 16 years?
Prior to winning LIV Golf Adelaide, Anthony Kim's last win on tour was the 2010 Houston Open. He was 24. He had already helped the United States to Presidents and Ryder Cup wins and had three PGA Tour titles.
Here is some perspective:
▪️ Scottie Scheffler was a 13-year-old and a blip on the national radar. He had not even won the first of his three successive Texas state titles.
▪️ Tiger Woods was just 34. He still had eight more PGA Tour titles and a major to win.
▪️ The four major winners in 2010 were Phil Mickelson, Graeme McDowell, Louis Oosthuizen and Martin Kaymer.
