Anthony Kim insists “it’s just a matter of time” before he starts competing for titles again despite a disappointing year. The American has made a significant leap up the World Golf rankings and remains optimistic that he is “ahead of schedule”.

Anthony Kim made his first appearance in the world rankings in almost 10 years after making the cut and finishing T37 at the Asian Tour's International Series Qatar

Anthony Kim made one of the biggest jumps in the history of the Official World Golf Ranking on Monday. And all it took was a made cut. To be fair, there was nowhere to go but up. The 39-year-old hadn't earned world ranking points since a T-42 finish at the 2012 Honda Classic when he was still playing on the PGA Tour.

The LIV golfer remained out of the public eye for nearly 12 years, but said 'it's just a matter of time' before he's able to contend to win again.
