A fan who heckled Brooks Koepka on the PGA Championship on Friday unsurprisingly didn’t truly need the smoke.
Koepka, who missed the reduce at Quail Hole by taking pictures 9-over throughout the primary two rounds, challenged a person who yelled “guaranteed money does that Brooks,” referencing Koepka leaving the PGA Tour in 2022 to take a reported nine-figure assure from LIV Golf.
“You want to come down here and say it?” Koepka stated to the fan, who was in an elevated, fenced-off space, in a video posted on social media.
The fan didn’t reply to Koepka in the remainder of the video.
Koepka, 35, has 5 main victories in his profession, tied for Fifteenth-most all-time.
He’s captured two U.S. Opens and three PGA Championships, his most up-to-date main win coming within the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
On Friday, Koepka missed the reduce on the PGA Championship for the primary time in his profession, and that got here a month after he missed the reduce on the Masters.
Whereas he made the reduce in any respect 4 majors final 12 months, he completed no higher than tied for twenty sixth.
In early March, Fred {Couples} raised eyebrows when he stated throughout a radio interview that Koepka needs to return to the PGA Tour, which has stripped the Tour playing cards of any gamers that defected to LIV Golf.
Phil Mickelson referred to as {Couples}’ feedback a “low class jerk move.”
However maybe {Couples}, who stated he talks to Koepka “all the time,” was on to one thing, as Koepka didn’t appear to be somebody loving the LIV Golf life when he was requested a few potential return to the Tour later in March.
“I’ve got a contract obligation out here to fulfill [at LIV], and then we’ll see what happens,” Koepka stated on the time.
Whereas his precise contract particulars are unknown, his LIV deal is reportedly up in 2026.
Talks between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf about working collectively have but to achieve a decision.
