Luke Donald has taken to social media to send a message to Anthony Kim following his incredible victory at LIV Golf Adelaide on Sunday.
We may not even be two months into 2026, but it is hard to imagine that there is going to be a more spectacular win anywhere this year.
Who is the biggest winner if Tiger Woods never existed?
Anthony Kim went into the final round of LIV Golf Adelaide five shots behind both Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau. It appeared that the two leaders would have a showdown at The Grange.
However, a better story unfolded. While DeChambeau faltered and Rahm struggled to get anything going, Kim played by far the best round of his second career.
Luke Donald lauds Anthony Kim after his victory at LIV Golf Adelaide
The 40-year-old was nine under par for the day. As soon as he found the green with his approach into 18, it was clear that nothing was going to stop the American securing his first professional victory in nearly 16 years.
Obviously, Kim spent the majority of that time out of the public spotlight and playing no golf whatsoever. It is certainly one of the greatest comebacks in sporting history.
And one of those to send a message to Kim was Luke DonaldâŚ
What was so impressive about Anthony Kimâs final round heroics
You could spend all day listing everything that was particularly impressive about Kimâs display.
The move to 72 holes was not supposed to benefit someone like him. He was relegated just last year and earned his place back by finishing third in the Promotions Event in January.
But from a golfing perspective, it was incredible just how comfortable he seemed to be on that stage. It provided a reminder of the player who helped steal the show at the 2008 Ryder Cup.
He did not drop a single shot in his final 28 holes of the tournament.
With that, this may end up simply being the end of the first chapter in the story of his stunning comeback.
