Anthony Kim was disqualified Sunday from the HSBC Champions for playing with an altered driver. Kim, a star in the United States' Ryder Cup victory over Europe two months ago, accidentally hit a sprinkler head as he tapped his driver on the ground while walking down the seventh fairway. "I wasn't angry or anything, just walking down the fairway," Kim said. "The toe hit the sprinkler, hit the top of the sprinkler, and I looked

Twenty-three-year-old Anthony Kim knows how many tournaments Tiger Woods won by the time he turned 23 (seven, including one major), but not because Kim looked it up. A writer told him. Kim (two wins, no majors) doesn't dwell on comparisons because he has a life, and it's "far-fetched" to think anyone will match Tiger's stat line — even if Kim did win one of the most coveted non-major titles of the '08 season, the Wachovia

Tiger Woods is building an ocean-front track in Mexico. It’s all about the land in that business – get yourself a nice piece of property – and Tiger will not come up short in that department. I expect a classic from Tiger within his first few projects. Phil Mickelson makes a cameo this month on HBO’s “Entourage.” I checked and he wasn’t in the recent episode where the guys ate mushrooms and hallucinated in the

SEOUL, South Korea -- South Korean Bae Sang-moon shot a 2-under 69 Sunday to win the Korean Open, finishing a stroke ahead of Ian Poulter. Poulter (70) bogeyed the 16th and 18th holes to blow his lead. American Anthony Kim (71) tied for third with South Korean Kim Wi-joong (72). The 22-year-old Bae totaled 11-under 273 at the Woo Jeong Country Club and won $240,000 to climb to fifth on the Asian Tour's Order of

SEOUL, South Korea -- Kim Wi-joong shot a 2-under 69 Saturday to take a one-stroke lead after the third round of the Korea Open. The South Korean was at 10-under 203 after a round of five birdies and three bogeys at the Woo Jeong Hills Country Club. American Anthony Kim (67), Englishman Ian Poulter (69) and South Koreans Bae Sang-moon (67) and Kim Dae-sub (69) were tied for second. "Before playing this week, my goal

It appears from watching Anthony Kim that he chokes down on all of his shots, but he doesn’t lose any distance and maintains great accuracy. I always thought that choking down on the club reduced the distance — at least that is what I was always told. After watching A.K. during the Ryder Cup matches, I went to the range and choked down, and I was astonished. All of my distances were not only the

SEOUL, South Korea -- U.S. Ryder Cup star Anthony Kim took an early lead at the Korea Open with a 7-under 64 on Thursday, finishing the opening day two shots ahead of the field.    The Korean-American, one of the sport's rising stars, carried on where he left off for the U.S. in Kentucky.   The 23-year-old held a two-shot lead over local Kim Jong-myung (66) in the $1 million Asian Tour event at the

ATLANTA (AP) -- The cheers weren't as loud, but Sergio Garcia had heard them before. Six days ago at the Ryder Cup, he was helpless as Anthony Kim fired at flags and birdied nearly half his holes in a 5-and-4 romp that revved up the gallery during an American victory. It looked like more of the same early Saturday at THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola, especially when Kim made everything in sight to build

ATLANTA -- Thanks to the cup, the Tour Championship finally might be worth watching. No, not the FedEx Cup. Six days after Anthony Kim routed Sergio Garcia in the opening singles match at the Ryder Cup, two of golf's most dynamic young players square off again in the third round at East Lake. Kim had to settle for a 1-under 69 on Friday after making bogey from the bunker, giving him a two-shot lead over

ATLANTA -- Unlike the raucous reception he received just a few days earlier, this one was reserved, more reverential, sort of what you would expect at a regular golf tournament. Of course, there is nothing like the Ryder Cup, as Anthony Kim learned last week as a rookie for the victorious American team at Valhalla in Kentucky.   It was there where no palm went unslapped, and every opportunity was seized to exhort the pro-American

ATLANTA -- One of the defining moments of the Ryder Cup, well, aside from Boo Weekley galloping off the first tee astride his driver, was Anthony Kim racing toward the 15th tee on Sunday. Kim was so engaged in the task at hand, he didn't realize he had just closed out the heart and soul of the European team, Sergio Garcia, 5 & 4 in the afternoon's first Singles match to give the U.S. cause

ATLANTA -- Anthony Kim won't claim the FedExCup this week, unless he manages to reprogram the navigation system in Vijay Singh's courtesy car with a faulty set of maps. Kim may not even claim a major next year, although he'll likely be a top contender in each one he plays. The truth of the matter, though, is that 24-year-old golfers, which Kim won't even be for another nine months, generally are still too young to

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, Sept 21 (Reuters) - Ryder Cup rookie Anthony Kim made the most of a lead-off assignment in Sunday's singles by thumping Sergio Garcia 5&4 to get the U.S. team off to a roaring start in their drive to win back the trophy. "I got chills up my spine the whole day and I'm loving every minute of it," said the 23-year-old Kim. "I wouldn't trade this for $10 million." The Americans ended Europe's

At the age of 23, Anthony Kim very well may be the future of golf -- except for one small problem. He's already a present-day superstar. The California Kid has enjoyed a coming-out party in 2008 after victories in the Wachovia Championship and AT&T National while amassing nearly $4.3 million in earnings. He also punched a ticket to his first Ryder Cup. Before partaking in the competition at Valhalla, Kim sat down on the ESPN.com

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Anthony Kim failed to qualify for the Tour Championship last year, but he was in Atlanta that week as a newly-signed representative of Nike. Pressing the flesh at a corporate outing the Wednesday night before the tournament, his job was to mingle, smile and politely answer questions from members of the media and various VIPs. A year later his job description is very different. After winning two PGA Tour events this season

Instructor Adam Schriber and golf supernova Anthony Kim have been working together ever since Kim was a young junior in the Palm Springs, Calif. area. The two are very close. And neither is shy about letting the other know what’s on his mind. So when Schriber spoke with Kim Monday morning after the BMW Championship to offer a few pointed remarks about his play late Sunday, Kim told him to save it. Kim had just

VILLEGAS WITH LEAD: Camilo Villegas has the lead following a round on the PGA TOUR for the fifth time in his young career. His 5-under 65 leads Steve Stricker, Kenny Perry, Tim Herron, Andres Romero and Stuart Appleby by one shot. Here is how Villegas, who is still looking for his first PGA TOUR win, has fared with the lead: -- (6:34 p.m. ET) He made birdie on his first two holes and his last

With two PGA Tour victories this season before he turned 23 years old, it would be understandable if Anthony Kim eschewed the advice of others and did what his youthful instincts told him. But in addition to being one of the longest drivers on tour, Kim is showing that an ability to listen is doing wonders for his game. Case in point: Kim's back-to-back rounds of 66 to move into contention at the Deutsche Bank

PARAMUS, N.J. -- On Friday, Anthony Kim, not an angry swarm of bees, went on the offensive at Ridgewood Country Club. And the phenomenal 23-year-old, who had been stung by one bee and found several others creeping up his pants leg on Thursday, was rewarded with a 67 that left him 5 under at the midway point of The Barclays. Kim, who entered the first event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup seeded

From GOLF.comTodd Hamilton remembered the old Anthony Kim, the ''''life of the party'''' Anthony Kim, from a night the two University of Oklahoma products spent in a campus bar. ''''He bought my first Jager Bomb,'''' Hamilton said. Not only was Kim, 20 years Hamilton''s junior, introducing a friend to the potent concoction of Red Bull and Jagermeister, but also, Hamilton said, Kim was too young to be in the establishment.

From Canoe.comOAKVILLE, Ont. - Watching Anthony Kim walk onto the busy practice range at Glen Abbey on Tuesday was like seeing a high-powered magnet get pointed at a pile of quarters. It took no time at all for many of Kim''s fellow pros and their caddies to come his way, seemingly drawn to a 23-year-old who has the look of golf''s next big thing.
