In an interview, an interviewer asked humorously if he was working on a mullet, as he has golden locks in his hair now. Laughingly he answered, ” I do. I’ve been growing it out. Trying to figure out what I might do with it. My barber is coming in on Thursday. So I’ll leave it up to him.”
Further, the interviewer added and advised him to go for a mullet and mentioned mullet works around here and it won the last year, he said, “I know. I know.” Recently, Koepka was in Rome, previewing the golf course with his team where they will compete next week.
A particular photo Koepka posted from the course gained significant traction, and not just for the scenic backdrop. His broad smile was noticeable as he posed with a club, but what caught everyone’s attention was his striking ‘mullet.’ Accompanying the photo, he playfully captioned it, “‘MERICA, LET’S RYDE. ”
