Anthony Kim’s Redemption: Faith, Family, and the Unbreakable Will to Never Quit

Sport is the perfect synonym for life. It is wrought with energy, discipline, struggles, and moments of pure bliss. Escape for fans and performers alike, but it also provides a parallel that is unmatched to the reality we all face. Some, like Anthony Kim, face more diversity than others. Yet, just as life needs no narrator to reach its potential, so too does the beauty of sport.

Defining moments happen without the acknowledgement of corporate-funded mouthpieces. Greatness emerges whether Brandel Chamblee, Eamon Lynch, Joel Beall, Kyle Porter, the PGA Tour, Augusta National, OWGR, or 54 Golf exist. Golf, like life, needs no one's permission to inspire. Anthony Kim is living proof.

History is a summation of the accomplishments, great or small, of the people who live it, not the people who write, talk about, or gatekeep it. All people have power, not just the ones fortunate enough to sit on thrones. People like Anthony Kim need no approval from others; they serve as the best examples for us to model.

Golf and life are better because of Anthony Kim. Standing up with faith, for family, and being dedicated to getting 1% better every day in a world full of hateful and spiteful personas. He delivered the ultimate gift of sport, redemption in Australia, after years of hearing from the mouthpieces that he would never succeed.

That winning moment will fade, but Anthony Kim's legacy will forever be his faith, family, and ability to swim upstream against unimaginable odds and hateful discourse. In one way or another, we will all face odds and hate, but always remember...

"Never fucking quit." - Anthony Kim
