Anthony Kim delivered one of LIV Golf‘s most memorable moments at Adelaide this week, mounting a remarkable comeback to secure victory in front of the largest crowd in the league’s history.
Starting the final round five shots behind co-leaders Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, Kim produced an exceptional performance when it mattered most. Playing alongside both leaders in the final group, he outpaced Rahm by eight strokes and DeChambeau by eleven over the course of 18 holes to claim a three-shot victory.
A Five-Shot Deficit Overcome
The turnaround was particularly striking given the gap Kim faced entering Sunday at The Grange Golf Club. Rather than fading under pressure, he elevated his game considerably, while his nearest competitors stumbled. The closing stretch saw Kim capitalize on opportunities while Rahm and DeChambeau struggled to maintain their overnight positions.
This victory adds another chapter to Kim’s return to competitive golf. The performance demonstrated both technical execution and mental resilience, qualities that have defined his comeback campaign on the LIV Golf circuit.
Record Attendance at The Grange
The victory came before an unprecedented crowd for LIV Golf, underlining the growing appeal of the league’s events. The Adelaide gallery’s enthusiasm provided an energetic backdrop to Kim’s final-round heroics, reflecting the sport’s expanding audience in the region.
Kim’s three-shot victory moved him into contention in the season standings as LIV Golf continues its 2026 schedule. The win represents a significant breakthrough moment for the player in the league’s format.
