Anthony Kim's comeback complete with stunning LIV Golf win at Adelaide

Anthony Kim added a stunning-yet-true chapter to his storybook return to professional golf by winning LIV Golf Adelaide on Sunday.

The 40-year-old American came from five strokes back after three rounds with an emphatic three-shot victory after his bogey-free round of 9-under 63 at The Grange Golf Club.

"I really don't know what to say right now," said Kim, who has been open and honest about his past struggles and how he got sober. "It's been overwhelming. I'm never not going to fight for my family. God gave me a talent and I was able to produce some good golf today. I knew it was coming. Nobody else has to believe in me but me. For anybody who's struggling, you can get through anything."

The build-up to Sunday focused on Jon Rahm of Spain and American Bryson DeChambeau, co-leaders at 19 under after three rounds and arguably LIV Golf's biggest stars. Kim, at 14 under, was somewhere out of the frame even though he was in third place.

The current stars were basically left in his dust, as Kim carded birdies at Nos. 4, 5, 7 and 9, then a run from Nos. 12-15 and on the par-4 No. 17 as an exclamation point to his first professional win in nearly 16 years since the 2010 Shell Houston Open on the PGA Tour.

"I knew this was going to happen, but for it actually happen is pretty insane," Kim said. "Thank you to everyone that's been in my corner. I'm going to keep doing it."

Rahm shot 1-under 71 for finish three strokes back at 20 under for his second consecutive second-place finish. His unremarkable round featured birdies at Nos. 4 and 16 -- both par-4 holes -- and a bogey at the par-4 No. 8.

"In a weird way, as a competitor, I probably shouldn't say this, but that was a joy to watch," Rahm said of Kim. "To see that image on 18 of him hugging his wife and daughter, any man with a soul is going to have a soft spot for that. I was almost tearing up."

DeChambeau posted a 2-over 74 to fall to a tie for third with England's Tyrrell Hatton (67 on Sunday) and Peter Uihlein (68) of the United States.

DeChambeau encountered trouble on the front nine with bogeys at Nos. 2, 3, 6 and 7. He birdied the first two holes of the back nine and made par on the rest.

Kim's bogey-free effort -- which tied the course record -- followed rounds of 67, 67 and 68 with a total of three bogeys and one eagle in the third round at the par-5 No. 9. He also collected the $4 million prize for first place.

His tournament performance is all the more impressive because of his journey to be in this position, which was his first start as a member of 4Aces GC.

Kim joined Dustin Johnson's LIV Golf team before the second event of the 2026 season, replacing Patrick Reed on a full-time basis.

The one-time rising star, who turned pro in 2006, returned from a 12-year hiatus in 2024 and played the past two seasons on this tour as a wild card. However, he was relegated after the 2025 season and had to go through the Promotions event, where he made the cut on the number before finishing third to regain his place in the league.

But it wasn't until Reed announced his intention to return to the PGA Tour that a spot on a team finally opened up for Kim. It wasn't an automatic yes for Kim, who said he was drawn to the 4Aces because he likes Johnson and fellow new teammates Thomas Pieters and LIV newcomer Thomas Detry.

A three-time winner across six seasons on the PGA Tour in his 20s, Kim had Achilles tendon surgery in 2012 and has been open about his rehab from drug and alcohol addiction during his hiatus from professional golf.

Kim failed to finish better than 36th and placed 50th or worse in five of 11 LIV Golf events in 2024. He played in 13 events last year, with a T25 in Dallas and a T29 in Miami his only finishes better than T44.

Kim wound up in the relegation zone, and it appeared his LIV Golf days could be numbered. But he rebounded to earn a wild-card spot in the Promotions event and then was signed to 4Aces after opening the season with a T22 in Riyadh last week.

In addition to his T22 last week, Kim closed out 2025 with a T5 at the PIF Saudi International. He has risen from 4,221st in the Official World Golf Ranking two years ago to No. 847, and that climb can continue with LIV players now receiving world rankings points for top-10 finishes. The win Sunday will boost Kim that much more up the rankings.

"If it wasn't one of us this week, to have (Kim) win here in Adelaide at our premier event is pretty cool," said Cameron Smith, team captain of all-Australian Ripper GC. "I'm so happy for him. He's worked hard. I actually played with Anthony his first round back in Saudi a few years ago, and it was scrappy to say the least, and I was very skeptical at the start. But what he's been able to do over the past couple of seasons and dig deep and grind out and then do what he did today is pretty special."

Ripper GC claimed the team title at 55 under after a 15 under on Sunday. Lucas Herbert (69) tied for third individually at 16 under and Smith (70) tied for eighth.

Rahm's Legion XIII placed second at 53 under after 8 under on the day, and 4Aces GC, boosted by Kim's winning effort, finished third at 52 under.

Whether in the kitchen or on the ice, US Olympic bobsledder Frank Del Duca is cooking

CORTINA D'AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Frank Del Duca is proud of his bolognese sauce. He's always tinkering with his meatball recipe, searching for the elusive perfect ratio of everything. His first job was making pizza, he raves about his lasagna, and he knows the best Italian dishes have just a few ingredients.

Milan Cortina Olympics Opening Ceremony

TheMilan Cortina Gamesare 4,000 miles from Del Duca's house in Maine.

He feels right at home.

The pilot of the USA-1bobsled— chosen by his peers to be one of the two U.S. flag bearers whenthese games opened— is, as one might have guessed, an Italian American, with three of his four grandparents hailing from the country where the Olympics are taking place. And Monday, he'll compete on the soil of their homeland, in the field with brakeman Josh Williamson for the start of the two-man competition in Cortina d'Ampezzo.

"I like that the track is in Italy," Del Duca said. "I really do, for many reasons."

Del Duca — now a two-time Olympian in two- and four-man racing — is coming off a pair of fourth-place finishes in last year's world championships. And right now, fourth place tends to be the limit for most men's bobsleds; first, second and third seem to always go to Germany, which won 38 of a possible 42 medals on the World Cup circuit this season.

In Italy, Del Duca's heritage could serve as added inspiration. He doesn't skip any steps; he prepares as diligently for a World Cup race in November as he does for the Olympic Games. But he makes no secret that these races carry extra meaning.

"I don't know that he gets the credit he deserves," U.S. women's pilot Elana Meyers Taylor said.

How $40 almost changed everything

He was a state high school skiing champion in Maine, then walked onto the University of Maine's track team. Del Duca thought he would become a professional strength and conditioning coach, but the money coming in wasn't matching the money that had to go out. Student loans and other bills were choking him, so he moved in with a friend.

His room, such as it was, had a futon mattress on the floor and a dresser.

"That was it," Del Duca said.

He wanted to try out for USA Bobsled by going to one of its combines, which is fancy way of saying some physical testing. Athletes get measured by their power, speed and explosiveness, to see if they have what it takes to get a sled going down a hill.

The registration fee was $40. Del Duca didn't have an extra $40.

"I've come from a bit of a struggle," Del Duca said. His family didn't even know he was sleeping on a floor, much less that he needed the $40. Eventually, the money got scraped together. He went to the combine. He made the team.

It wasn't the first time the cost of bobsled would require some sacrifice.

"He may not be a five-time gold medalist," said Haley Del Duca, the slider's wife. "But he works like one."

His dream car had to go

One of the ways Del Deca — a bit of a speed freak — made money back then was to pick up cars or scooters, fix them up and then flip them for a little bit of profit.

Eventually, he got his hands on a 2002 Audi TT, a six-speed with 225 horsepower, a car that could go from 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 seconds. His dream car. He loved that car. He didn't want to sell the car.

But he wanted to be a bobsled pilot. And runners, the steel tubes on the bottom of sleds, are expensive. The car was an asset. The runners were a need. He sold the car for $4,500, which was enough to put a deposit down on a set of runners.

"That tells you how cheap my dream car was," Del Duca said, "and how expensive runners can be."

The Army gave him opportunity

Del Duca is now a sergeant in the U.S. Army, part of its World Class Athlete Program. There are no fewer than nine current U.S. Olympic sliders and coaches who are, or were, part of WCAP — which provides athletes with some of the financial backing they need to compete.

The military salary helped Del Duca buy the right equipment, allowed him to eat better, to not stress as much about day-to-day life.

"They've been extremely supportive," Del Duca said. "It's an honor and I'm so grateful to serve my country and represent my country with the military, with the Army and then with Team USA."

Being the driver of USA-1 comes with responsibility. The late Steven Holcomb — an Olympic champion and generally considered the best American bobsledder ever — held that role when Del Duca was just breaking into the sport. Del Duca still has some of Holcomb's tools in his equipment box, partially as a tribute, partially because he wants to feel like Holcomb is always with him.

Holcomb was the leader, whether dealing with men's or women's sliders. Del Duca, quietly, assumes that same role now.

The Olympic team selection process wasn't easy on Meyers Taylor. She was a lock for the team, but the decision about who would be in her two-woman sled was contentious. The U.S. selection committee wound up going with rookie Jadin O'Brien, which led to some hurt feelings and appeal proceedings from other athletes. Meyers Taylor was in the center of it all. And a few days ago, she basically broke down.

"I consider myself a strong person. But I have my moments of weakness, too," Meyers Taylor said. "So, one day, we were in sports medicine. I am trying to just relax and trying to put everything behind me. But I completely lost it, like an ugly cry, breaking down. And Frankie just gets up slowly. Just turns to me and just gives me a hug. And he will not let go until I let go."

Her makeup was smearing his shirt. He didn't care.

"Everything's going to be OK," he kept telling her. Meyers Taylor, finally, felt better.

"That's the kind of person he is," she said.

It is fitting, in a way, that Del Duca and Meyers Taylor still have those moments together. He took his first bobsled ride way back when with her as a pilot. Little did either of them know what they were starting.

Much like with cooking, there was trial and error. But now, he's got it just about figured out.

"In the beginning, I didn't see Olympic medals or the Olympics. I saw a lot of ups and downs," Del Duca said. "When I started driving, I felt comfortable. It set my soul on fire and that's when I felt that I was doing what I was really supposed to do."
