He was practicing when he was inspired to make a short reel of his tee stroke to the music of ‘Makeba’ by Jain. It is one of the hottest TikTok trends these days to perform regular activities to the off-beat ditty and Koepka posted it on his team’s official Instagram.

Whether she was teasing or genuinely surprised that Brooksie took part in a social media trend is unknown. Regardless, the video did inspire a lot more reactions.
