The rumors around the three-time PGA Tour winner’s return to the greens first started when Matt Fisher, better known as Mr.Short Game, uploaded a video in which he stated how, according to his sources, Kim had decided to approach the rebel league. In the wake of his supposed return, the idea of the 38-year-old’s comeback in the golfing realm was not only widely appreciated and accepted by the fans but also by golfers alike, one of whom was none other than Abraham Ancer of Sergio Garcia‘s Fireballs GC, who recently expressed how he looks forward to the 3x PGA Tour champion’s return to golf.
