There are a few very specific things that get all of Golf Twitter riled up in unison, and the majority are on-course occurrences. An opening birdie for Tiger Woods, a "Jordan Spieth is BACK!" birdie-birdie-birdie run, a Rory McIlroy charge, etc. Amazingly, none of those instances send people rushing to their phones quite like an off-course, Anthony Kim sighting.
These days, AK sightings are few and far between, which makes each one more special than the last. Our latest AK-in-the-wild photo dropped on Friday, and it sent Golf Twitter into its usual frenzy. Here's the photo, posted by Kim's longtime swing coach Adam Schriber with the caption "2021 is going to be special":
