‘After Finding Out How Much You Gotta Pay to Leave..’: Golf Fans Have Cheeky Responses for LIV Defector Brooks Koepka’s Latest Photo From Adelaide

LIV Golf is set to kick off its first international and fourth overall event in Adelaide on Friday. The likes of Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Cameron Smith, and more are set to headline the event.

Koepka, who, along with Mickelson, finished at T2 in the Masters, will start off on the first hole tomorrow alongside golfers Ian Poulter and Cameron Smith. On Thursday, however, the 4-time major champion treated his Instagram followers to a cheeky post, subtly taking a dig at his “mentions.”

Fans react to cheeky Brooks Koepka post ahead of LIV Adelaide

Brooks Koepka has been in sensational form in recent times. In the 2023 Masters, he finished at T2 after being edged out by Jon Rahm, taking home $1,584,000 in earnings. Now, the 32-year-old has set his eyes on the lucrative LIV Adelaide title.

The golfer, who has found himself in the middle of a handful of controversies recently, seemed to aim a jibe at his detractors in his new Instagram post. The golfer sports a deflated expression in his latest post, which he captioned “@ my mentions.”

His new photo has now incited hilarious reactions from fans. One fan cheekily responded, “Brooksy, bed time mate.” “You’re mentioned so much. The @pgatour may have to give you the PIP 😂,” commented another. The PGA Tour’s Player Impact Program (PIP) rewards golfers for enhancing engagement and publicity of the Tour.

Meanwhile, some fans lamented his loss to Jon Rahm at Augusta earlier this month. “I believe you will win a major again @bkoepka a lot of factors went wrong in Augusta and John Rahm was just slightly more consistent.” “The face when that birdie putt on 2 at Augusta burnt the edge. Pain,” reminded another. 

One golf fan also took a jab at LIV Golf, commenting, “After finding out how much you gotta pay to leave @livgolf_league.” “First 3x LIV champ coming this week. 🏆 🏆 🏆 👏👏,” wrote one hoping for Koepka’s victory at LIV Adelaide. The Florida native has won two LIV Golf events so far, emerging victorious at the LIV Orlando event ahead of Augusta.

What is the prize purse for LIV Adelaide?

Per usual, LIV Adelaide is set to be a no-cut 54-hole event with a lucrative prize purse. The event boasts an incredible $20 million individual prize purse, of which $4,000,000 will go to the victorious golfer. There is also another $5 million in line for the team competition.

Meanwhile, the runner-up at LIV Adelaide’s individual event will take home $2,125,000. The top 3 teams in the 12-team concurrent format will win shares of the $5 million prize. $3 million will go to the first, $1.5 million to the second, and $500,000 to the third team. Unlike in PGA Tour, no OWGR points will be allotted to the competing golfers.

The fourth LIV Golf event is set to take place at the Grange Golf Club in Adelaide, Australia.
