The golf world was shaken this weekend as Anthony Kim, once hailed as one of the sport’s brightest stars, broke down in tears after being subjected to relentless racial abuse and cruel taunts during his shocking relegation from LIV Golf.
Eyewitnesses described a heartbreaking scene as Kim, who has been fighting to rebuild his career after years away from professional golf, was heckled with slurs and jeers as he walked off the course. Cameras caught the emotional moment when Kim, overwhelmed by the barrage of abuse, could no longer hold back his tears.
The incident sparked outrage online, with fans demanding swift and severe action from LIV Golf officials. Hashtags like #StandWithKim and #JusticeForAnthony quickly trended worldwide as supporters and fellow golfers rallied behind him.
In a tense statement, LIV Golf acknowledged the “deeply disturbing” events and vowed to investigate, but stopped short of revealing how they plan to address the scandal. This calculated silence has only fueled speculation, with many wondering whether the league will issue bans, strip fans of access, or take more dramatic steps to send a strong message against racism in golf.
For now, the sporting world waits — holding its breath — as LIV Golf prepares its next move in what could become one of the defining controversies in modern golf history.
