Since LIV Golf entered the world of golf, it has changed the golf world a lot. Everything took a hit, from the format to the location to the fans. Many players left their legacy and friendships on the PGA Tour behind and joined the Saudi-backed circuit. However, it has been a challenging change. Many pro golfers from the American Tour felt distance from their friends who joined LIV. One of those golfers is Tony Finau. He misses Brooks Koepka the most; therefore, forcing Koepka’s wife makes things right.

Koepka’s wife, Jena Sims, took note of this information and acknowledged it in her way. She took a snapshot of the article, whose heading read, “Tony Finau reveals the LIV golfers he misses having on tour the most.” Sims posted the snapshot of the article in her Instagram story and tagged Finau. She wrote, “Miss y’all too. See you in April.” A winking emoji and an adorable kiss emoji were also part of her message.
The American pro golfer Finau also had a chance to switch to the LIV Golf league and leave PGA Tour behind. But he chose to stay loyal to the American Tour. However, it worked for him as he went on to win three times in 2022. He is now looking forward to Master, and so is the Koepka couple. Notably, both Finau and Koepka appear in the new Netflix docuseries based on golf.

We like ’em.” Even though he misses Abraham Ancer and Carlos Ortiz, Koepka tops the list.
