Kim is tied for last in the LIV Golf standings. In Nashville last month, he finished 46th in the standings, posting an even score in 54 holes. He was 48th in Houston and 53rd in Singapore, dating back to early May.
He disappeared from the PGA Tour years ago and his return to the professional ranks was highly publicized back in January.

The last time Kim competed before joining LIV Golf was at the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship when he was 26 years old. He withdrew from the tournament due to injury, which was his third straight withdrawal.
One month later, Kim had surgery to repair his left Achilles tendon, and then he wasn’t heard from in the golf world as many wondered whether he would be back at all.
Kim also dealt with tendinitis in his left arm and a left thumb injury during his 122 starts on the PGA Tour.
He was open about his battle with addiction in an interview on LIV Golf Plus in April.

"Golf is important to me and not important to me at the same time," Kim said, per ESPN. "I've had some very dark moments. I've had some very low moments. I've felt very alone, even when there's a million people around. I needed to get my mind straight and figure out what my purpose was on this planet."
