Before him joining the LIV Golf, Brooks Koepka was one of the most vocal PGA Tour players to be against the Saudi-backed Tour. He openly criticized the Tour and also labeled Phil Mickelson as “greedy” for joining the LIV Golf. Koepka now joins his good friend Bryson DeChambeau, who also joined the LIV Golf recently. Both stars will make their LIV Golf debut next week in Oregon.

Justin Thomas sends an indirect message to Koepka

Koepka and DeChambeau’s bromance is quite popular in the world of golf. Both golfers have showcased their brotherhood on the course. The duo, at times, are also seen poking fun at each other on social media.

The most hilarious part of the post was the caption that read, “Couldn’t LIV without each other,” indicating that Koepka couldn’t leave without DeChambeau and therefore joining him in the LIV Golf. Fans were quick to realize JT’s fondness for the post. The comment section of the post was flooded with the fans recognizing the fact that Thomas liked the picture. This can be seen as a taunt or just a usual liking of the post while scrolling down the Instagram page for Justin Thomas.
