  • This is a big one! Just before Anthony Kim's second event on the LIV Tour following his return to professional golf, we got a chance to play a match with him. I was more nervous for this match than I was for almost any match I can remember.

    I have hated how cruel people were towards AK, especially on Instagram. Part of it was because of the pouring-over of LIV hate, partly I think people are just bullies that like to go after people's vulnerabilities. AK has been through some shit, might have made some really bad decisions, done bad things. The man I see today, and I have a different perspective as I did not watch golf before he retired, is a man of principle and a kind, reflected and wholesome father. I wish him nothing but the best.

      Instagram comments are what TH-cam comments used to be.

      Agree! Everyone has a life to live! Just do your best at it and where the chips fall, they will!

      It’s the internet. You can’t take any of what is said to heart.. no one would say anything in person

    • @jeremylowe2309
      @jeremylowe2309 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      I agree with you but now that I’m seeing the comments I was right about his nose. It happens, no biggie. As long as he feels healthy and good now, he’s cool. It’s crazy the talent we never got to see though.

    • @MarkSmithhhh
      @MarkSmithhhh 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Agree 100%, comment sections in general are one of tje worst things to ever hit the internet

  • @FelixGallardo1946
    @FelixGallardo1946 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +81

    100% seeing Pro’s struggle to break par is so much more entertaining than seeing them breeze around a course shooting 8 or 9 under

    • @kimchee411
      @kimchee411 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Right? One reason why majors are great and tourneys where the winner shoots 28 under par are boring as hell.

    Erik, so glad you went out and did this match. After seeing all the big media interviews with AK, it is nice to see him on the course, relaxed, with an interviewer like you. Great job!

    AK is very wise and seems more. At peace? With his surroundings and golf game. I love it. Love the vibes.

    Even though it hasn't been the huge AK comeback we wanted, I've still enjoyed catching up with him this season.

    Guy is a legend. He was peaking when I first started playing golf so have some core memories of AK on tour.

    As a father, with a small bit of knowledge of Anthony's story -- he is even more inspirational after this video. What a great HUMAN. Giving my own spirit an inspiration. Thank you.

    This was so awesome to watch. I've looked into Anthony's status several times since his fallout to no avail - so pumped to see him back thriving and owning his role as a father. Kudos to you for following through on the tat - its actually pretty dope!

    @Tone2K 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    This video was SUCH a treat man. Thank you for this. I was a fan of AK and Tiger when they were coming up. They made golf younger and relatable to a younger gen. I missed the attitude and swag AK brought to the game. It was so great to see glimpses of his old confident self and see him in a better place. Not to mention a treat to watch the golf play itself. Props for keeping to your word and getting the ink. I wish I saw AK's reaction to you getting it. Huge thumbs up.

    Best AK vid to date, and I’m really diggin the AK storylines… never heard of him before this year but now a big fan. No expectations, just want him to enjoy life, competitive golf having a profession. He’s played some surprisingly good rounds on LIV so far.

    Great window into AK’s journey with life and golf! I for one love a “redemption” story, hope AK nothing but the best going forward. Thanks RGC for another first class look at the people who love the game and how to love the people who choose to play it! Half Set Full Send!

    dude followed his passion, and has not stopped pushing. i thought so many times this channel would fade off and get to like a 15-25k average viewership. it looked like it was getting shakey, but lang has kept his ship on course, and continues to bring great content

    @davewestner 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Had to pause the video and write that as a golf audience member, I 100% agree with AK that I'd rather watch the pros play a course where they play closer to par than play a million under. That's what makes the US Open my favorite contest of the year.
    Not like there's any more or any less amazing shots when the winner comes in at +1. Still incredible golf.

    @timbuma3693 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    One of my favorite videos of AK was back in his prime and him and Tiger were doing an exhibition on a driving range. They were both asked the question “how far do you hit your sand wedge?” AK went first and basically said idk it depends on the day, it could be 90 yards or 120 yards. Tiger then answered the question and said 118 yards. Just showed you that there were different ways to play this game and still very super successful!

    @Pud56 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I will gladly admit, i enjoy LIV, love the ad free coverage and shotgun foremat. Now to the issue at hand, AK openly admits he has struggled, I don’t blame him for accepting the offer from Netflix to tell his story, his family needs looking after. We can all guess rightly or wrongly what his issues were, but he suggests that he mixed in poor circles, and is now out of that environment. Everyone deserves to be given a chance, he seems determined to do good by his wife and daughter, and that’s fantastic. Still has talent, and well done to Greg Norman for giving him a start and chance. Let’s hope this story ends well, too much bad news in the world, a little good news and kindness would be nice. Good luck AK, ignore the haters, your family comes first and you are liked by so many who wont necessarily post as the haters do. This interview is a great insight to his current mindset, well done, he clearly trusted you.
