Anthony Kim Still On Track To Maybe Someday Sell Memorabilia Out Of A Luxury Mobile Home
/Actually, by the sounds of Doug Ferguson's story and also Brian Wacker's at PGATour.com, Anthony Kim's free-spending/drinking days may be over (finally), the entourage is gone, and all just two years removed from his breakout win with a body that is breaking down.
Of course, even if he loses his card, Kim can always write to the Humana Challenge folks for an invite to the hometown event? Oh wait, that's not going to happen.
From Ferguson's story:
He no longer has a bag deal, so Kim is using a red carry bag that says "Oklahoma Sooners," a bag typically seen at college tournaments. He no longer has a big entourage. He has lost some of his swagger, though Kim is engaging as ever, quick to smile and delightful when he's around kids.
His mother, who showed a sense of humor with the dig about the club caddie, remains his biggest fan. She rarely comes to tournaments and cares only that her son is happy, even if he wants to stop playing golf and come home to Los Angeles.
What made her remind Kim, 26, that he could lose his card?
"She doesn't think I think enough," Kim said, and he didn't argue that point. "She has to do it for both of us."
This was encouraging from Wacker's story and makes you want to see him get his game back.
Off the course, Kim's reputation has its share of blemishes from, as Kim himself puts it, regrettable situations he's put himself in.
"I'm not the poster child for the TOUR for a reason," Kim said. "I don't go to Bible study every day. Do I believe in God? Yeah, but not because it's 'in.' I don't care what's 'in.' I'm here to win golf tournaments, get better, learn about life and hopefully one day when I have kids can tell them, 'Hey don't do that; your dad was stupid enough to do that.'"
