Anthony Kim is throwing pie in the face of Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee over his about-face on LIV Golf.
Kim, who stunningly returned to professional golf earlier this year after 12 years away from the sport to compete on the upstart LIV tour, posted on X on Friday, calling Chamblee all sorts names and accusing him of hypocrisy.
“Ramble Chamblee @chambleebrandel ur such a p—y 4 beating on ur chest & basically saying never retreat & hypocritically retreat,” Kim tweeted.
“It is well known this talentless fool is disliked by most people in the golf world. U still gonna cover golf if @livgolf_league is involved?”
Chamblee had been amongst the biggest hard-liners castigating anybody who took the large guaranteed money that LIV, backed by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), but has changed his tune and encouraged the merger of the PGA Tour and LIV.
“The PGA Tour is in this pickle like it or not, but, do you want to compete with someone (LIV Golf) who’s not gonna go away, who can outspend you (PIF),” Chamblee said on Golf Channel earlier this week.
“Every move they make that makes their Tour better deletes your Tour and causes more division within the Tour. So the time is now, to Rory’s point about making a deal, I wouldn’t have said that a year ago… but it is the better end of the bargain.”
Writing on X, Chamblee fired back at Kim in a lengthy diatribe.
“This is about as inaccurate as a lot of Mickelson’s drives and sadly ironical coming two tweets after you asked for advice on raising your daughter that you would refer to someone as a female body part in a juvenile attempt to denigrate them,” Chamblee tweeted.

“It’s clear that you were not offered disability for your pithy takes. As for your criticism of me saying a deal with the Saudis is the best deal for golf right now, it’s something I’ve said recently, because I don’t think the Saudis are going to turn away from the game and they will continue to be a poaching threat and dilute the product of the PGA Tour.
“It’s the sad reality of you and your brethren on the LIV tour willingly dealing with a murderous dictator for profit so that he can hide his atrocities, that golf has had to try to figure out how to mitigate the influence of MBS [Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman], PIF and LIV in the otherwise philanthropical and merit based world of professional golf. Now why don’t you get back to doing what you formerly did best, which is to wow the world with your talent. I don’t like LIV for a lot of reasons, but I certainly enjoyed your golf and would love to see you playing anything like the semblance of the golfer you used to be.”
