Anthony Kim finally confirms worst-kept secret about 12-year hiatus, details below 👇👇

But he refused to divulge any more information beyond that.

“I’m not at liberty to talk about details of the settlement or what happened regarding that,” he said.

“I know public opinion is that I took this money and ran and decided I was just going to hang out.

“But that wasn’t the case at all.

“I had multiple, multiple surgeries within a few years and my body is still not what it used to be.”

Kim said he had multiple surgeries to his shoulder, hand, Achilles and also a spinal fusion.

“You’re like Frankengolfer,” Feherty joked.

So what has Kim been doing?

Well, not a lot.

Kim told Feherty that he spent a tremendous amount of time sitting around his house watching reality TV and hanging out with his six pet dogs and two monkeys.

He claimed he hadn’t really played golf until about two-and-a-half months ago.

Kim wasn’t even considering returning until his wife Emily got hooked on the game.

Now, Kim said, he feels like he is falling in love with the game.

“I have an interesting relationship with golf,” he said. “I don’t think I ever loved it.

“What’s very weird to me right now is that I’m falling in love with the game.

“Golf was always filled with pressure, was always filled with lots of different emotions for me.

“My family had to go through a lot to give me this opportunity to play golf.

“So with that added pressure I was willing to risk a lot more. That was my nature, I was aggressive on the golf course and I was aggressive off the golf course and that led to my demise.”
