LIV golfer Anthony Kim and Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee have engaged in a vicious back-and-forth this week, and things just got a bit more personal.
AK was seen throwing a jab at Chamblee’s past family history after the analyst appeared on a recent podcast.
Let’s rewind a bit.
Late last week, Kim took to social media to blast “Ramble Chamblee,” calling him a “talentless fool” while ripping into his opinion of LIV Golf.
Ramble Chamblee, ur such a p—- 4 beating on ur chest & basically saying never retreat & hypocritically retreat. It is well known this talentless fool is disliked by most people in the golf world. U still gonna cover golf if LIV Golf is involved?

Chamblee has been one of the most vocal opponents of the rival league, taking every moment possible to put anyone affiliated with LIV down.
That was again the case on Wednesday when he was heard talking with Matt Vincenzi of GolfWRX.
“Nobody watches [LIV], and you’re losing all your money… The format for LIV is just stupid. There’s no other word for it… Fifty-four holes, 54 players, start willy-nilly here and there… It’s a laughable concept.”
He questioned the validity of scoring and competition in those events while speaking on whether or not certain players deserved to play in majors.
Anthony Kim was a golfer singled out in that conversation due to the recent online jab. Chamblee responded.
“I thought it was juvenile,” he said of the shot. “Social media is a perfect place for juveniles to go behave like children, like the ball pit at McDonalds without adult supervision.”
Anthony Kim then took things a step further…
He made it personal!
After hearing the comments go viral on social media, Kim bit back once again to continue the beef.
Again an inaccurate statement by someone who would know about hangin around ball pits when he left his family and four kids for someone half his age. Very unprofessional. Also I’m not for sale I chose to play LIV Golf bcuz it was best for me and my family.

Shots fired!
The two sides clearly don’t have much love for one another, and this likely won’t be the last of the spat.
For now, Chamblee will watch along with the start of the PGA Championship at Valhalla. Kim, meanwhile, awaits his next LIV tournament.
We’ll see if there’s another follow-up before weekend’s end.
