Jon Rahm leads, Anthony Kim struggles in debut at LIV Golf's tournament in Jeddah
LIV Golf is back in action this weekend for the third event of the year. The field's in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the Royal Greens Golf & Country Club for three days of action. Joaquin Niemann and Dustin Johnson won the first two events of the season in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico and Las Vegas, respectively.
The biggest storyline of the weekend, though, is Anthony Kim's return to the green. The three-time PGA Tour winner hasn't played since 2012 following an Achilles injury. He shot a 6-over 76 in the first round with one birdie and seven bogeys to put him last in the 54-person field.
