Brooks Koepka, Jenna Sims
Former LIV Golf player Brooks Koepka was spotted having a good time over the weekend while having a party on a yacht with his wife Jena Sims. One of the most well-known athletes in the game to make the contentious LIV transfer back in June was Koepka. The American reportedly earned a cool £83 million ($100 million) signing on fee from former world No. 1 Greg Norman, in addition to winning £608,000 in individual prize money in his first two LIV events.
The LIV schedule was empty last week, so the four-time major champion made the most of his weekend by hanging out with Sims at a boat party. Videos showing Koepka dancing while perched on a boat’s chairs have been posted on the model’s Instagram page. Sims also posted pictures of the happy pair appearing to sing and dance in a bar by the water. The American’s yacht partying occurs while the conflict between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf continues, which is possibly the biggest golfing civil war the sport has ever seen. 11 LIV dissidents, including Phil Mickelson, sued the PGA Tour last week to have their suspensions lifted.
PGA Tour hits LIV Golf rebels again, Brooks Koepka being one of them
“The Tour’s action serves no purpose other than to damage players and prevent the introduction of the first significant competitive threat the Tour has faced in decades, the lawsuit, which was filed in the US District Court of Northern California, stated.” “This lawsuit aims to invalidate anticompetitive PGA Tour policies that restrict these independent-contractor golfers’ ability to compete when and where they like.”
Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford, and Matt Jones, three of the 11 rebels, are requesting a temporary restraining order so they may participate in this Thursday’s FedEx St Jude Invitational. As expected, the tour has responded by accusing the defectors of inventing a “emergency” and violating tour rules. The plaintiffs have joined the rival golf league LIV Golf, which has paid them tens of millions of dollars in guaranteed money provided by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund to procure their violations, according to the PGA Tour, despite knowing full well that they would violate Tour Regulations and be suspended for doing so.
TRO plaintiffs are currently in court requesting a mandatory injunction in order to force their way into the FedExCup Playoffs, which would be detrimental to all Tour members who adhere to the rules. Plaintiffs are not permitted to “have their cake and eat it too” under the antitrust rules.
