Hours Ahead of Epic $50 Million LIV Golf Event, Brooks Koepka Makes a Controversial Confession About the Sport

Brooks Koepka, the star of the LIV PGA merger has not left the headlines after his win at the LIV Jeddah.

Now, as the player preps for the upcoming feat in Miami, some new gossip has broken on the Jake Paul talk show that has raised some eyebrows. Here’s the full scoop. 

Brooks Koepka wrestles with the perception of golf as a sport with some controversial takes

In a recent episode of ‘BS w/ Jake Paul,’ Brooks Koepka sat down for a nearly hour-and-a-half-long interview. The conversation during that span took multiple mind-boggling turns where Koepka not only gave detailed answers to the questions asked but also revealed some secrets here and there. 

During the interview, the five-time major champion was asked a question about whether or not he thinks golf is a real sport, and Koepka, on prompt, gave a somewhat undecided answer, stating, “Sometimes I think it is and sometimes I think it isn’t. I go back and forth.”

Comparing the dedication and discipline of his fellow golfers that he sees on the greens, the LIV pro mentioned that he looks at the guys and knows how they train, and that makes him feel a certain way, and then on the other side, he sees golfers who have this air “‘ I’m going to go slam seven or eight beers every night then go play in the morning,’” around them, and that makes him feel different. 

This wasn’t the only conversation that happened in the episode. Keopka gave some very interesting answers to some controversial takes from the past as well.

The American pro also answered how “big” his LIV contract was, stating that it was a 9-figure contract, meaning that he made 100 million or more and he was happy with the purse. 

Koepka also mentioned how the shift of PGA Tour players to LIV started with veteran player Phil Mickelson, who was big on rights and player autonomy, talking about how the league owns a player moment, but with LIV, a player gets to be the star. Koepka mentioned that he took up the offer not only for the paycheck but also for how uncertain the future sounds.
