Brooks Koepka, one of the first players to denounce a rival league for only 48 players joins the LIV Golf series. Brooks is the latest PGA Tour player to join the Saudi-funded LIV Golf series. The 32-year-old is the latest big name to join the controversial series, following Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau and Phil Mickelson.
Koepka was the second player, behind Rory McIlroy, who spoke out against a rival league in March 2020 when he stated that he will have a hard time believing golf should be about just 48 players.
“Money isn’t going to change my life,” Koepka said at the time.
Koepka really gives LIV Golf some serious credit with four major titles under his belt.
