Anthony Kim has received another perk following his dramatic win over Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau in Sunday’s final round in Australia.
There were plenty of rewards attached to Kim’s sensational victory with the former US Ryder Cup star banking the $4-million winner’s cheque.
But in the wake of the new decision to allow LIV Golf players to earn world ranking points, Kim has soared to 206th in the world after starting the Adelaide event in 847th position.
LIV Golf Adelaide was just the second event in LIV history where tournaments were officially recognised for OWGR points, following accreditation ahead of the season opener in Riyadh.
The top 10 finishers at each event now earn OWGR points.
“Nothing is holding me back,” he said in the aftermath of victory.
“Nothing is holding me back. I just have to keep working. The one percent better every day thing is a mindset that I’m going to carry with me until the day I die. I don’t see why I can’t make it to the top again.”
