“Hello. Can a crack addict go a day without finding a way to get high? NO. I would know,” he wrote. “I’m not gonna let a crack addict outdo me today. 1% better today, less glue!!!”

Kim is tied for last in the LIV Golf standings. In Nashville last month, he finished 46th in the standings, posting an even score through 54 holes. He was 48th in Houston and 53rd in Singapore, since early May.

He disappeared from the PGA Tour years ago and his return to the professional ranks was highly publicized in January.

The last time Kim competed before joining LIV Golf was at the 2012 Wells Fargo Championship when he was 26. He withdrew from the tournament due to injury, his third consecutive withdrawal.

A month later, Kim underwent surgery to repair his left Achilles tendon, and was not heard from again in the golf world, with many wondering if he would return.

Kim also suffered from tendonitis in his left arm and a left thumb injury during his 122 PGA Tour starts.

He spoke openly about his struggle with addiction in an interview on LIV Golf Plus in April.

“Golf is important to me and not important to me at the same time,” Kim said, according to ESPN. “I’ve had some really dark times. I’ve had some really low times. I’ve felt very alone, even when there were a million people around me. I needed to get my head together and figure out what my purpose was on this planet.”
