Anthony Kim’s journey through professional golf from early onset to extinction for 12 years until now becoming a winner again at LIV Golf is undoubtedly special. And the way he built the configuration of his new bag reflects that uniqueness.
On this week’s episode of GOLF’s Fully Equipped, co-host Johnny Wunder, who has become friends with Kim over the past year, details how Kim tested the new equipment after returning to the completely different world of professional golf.
When Kim, now 40, won his first two PGA Tour titles in 200816 years ago, the first adjustable loft driver had not yet hit the market. Launch monitors were on the PGA Tour, but they weren’t what they are today.
Custom club fitting had been around for a while, but we were just starting to push the limits of what individual optimization can now achieve.
Kim, in some ways, still is rooted in those old school ways.
Wunder met Kim last year and became friends with him after he coached with him at LIV Golf Virginia. So Wunder began to understand how Kim thinks differently about gadgets.

“It’s been interesting,” Wunder said. “You’re talking to a person, trying to help them and answer questions for them and they don’t know Trackman, they don’t know Foresight. They don’t even speak the modern golf ball.”
Using his connections in gear space, whenever Kim asked him a product such as a wedge or a driverWunder would reach down and get him one to try.
Then Kim would give his comments to Wunder.
“He would take things and test them and say I like it because he does this. It was all very ball-related,” Wunder said. “It was, ‘I swing this way and the ball goes that way.’ There are no numbers.”
Wunder said Kim has built his bag around feeling, and that’s non-negotiable for him.
But still, over the past month-plus since earning his spot at LIV Golf and his first worldwide win since 2010, he’s made tremendous progress with his game.
