The renowned golf instructor worked previously with Koepka in each of his four Major Championship wins. The two head in different directions after their split in November 2020, but seem to have joined hands to prevent Koepka’s performance from slipping further. Here’s the post from Harmon.

The post drew several reactions from fans, most of them reminding Koepka of his decision to join LIV Golf. Take a look.

However, there were a few positive reactions from the fan’s end, hoping for the reconciliation to spark wonders in Koepka’s career.

How has Brooks Koepka fared this season?

While he fared better in last year’s PGA Tour, it was certainly not enough for the man accustomed to winning consecutive Major Championships. He missed 7 cuts out of a total of 16 contested events and was ranked outside the top 50 in three of them.

His best result came at the WM Phoenix Open at TPC Scottsdale, wherein he finished tied in third place. It was also his highest prize money for the season at $434,600, which was certainly nowhere near his mammoth contract worth $100 million for switching alliances to join the LIV Golf Series.
