I'm hearing a lot of rumblings that Brooks Koepka has buyer’s remorse. He took the money when his brittle body was still being put back together, and in private he has confided to folks he wasn’t sure if he would ever get fully healthy again. But now Koepka is feeling frisky and supposedly rethinking his career choice.
Alan Shipnuck said about Brooks Koepka.

Since its inception, the LIV Golf League has been a contentious topic within the golf community. Numerous players have voiced concerns over the league’s perceived attempt to undermine the PGA Tour and its longstanding customs. Some have even gone as far as to label it a “money grab,” prioritizing players’ interests over the sport’s integrity.

Despite criticism, LIV Golf has managed to lure top golfers from the PGA Tour with its tempting contracts. Phil Mickelson, the six-time major champion, is among the league’s most ardent endorsers, having strongly hinted that he signed a $200 million deal. He has openly praised the league’s imaginative format and amplified visibility.

Koepka’s future in golf remains uncertain. As he continues to lead Smash GC as their captain, it might something huge for Koepka to leave the Saudi-backed tour and re-join the PGA Tour circuit.
