In a recent interview, Koepka revealed that he still loves the PGA Tour and holds nothing against it.
“A lot of guys I see on a daily basis around Jupiter still play on the PGA Tour. I have nothing against them. I have nothing against Jay. It’s just competition, right? We are just trying to put up the best model we can, the best golf and then it’s up to the fans. We want people to watch and come to the events. We want to put on a show for everybody.”
Players think that they are valued better at LIV Golf and the league has mapped out its business model decently. The league has a cool business side and provides neat experience to the fans and players. According to Koepka, “That is what LIV creates and that’s the difference.”

“LIV have done a phenomenal job just listening to the players, what we want, what we need. That’s been the cool part of the process. The transparency. This is the first full season. I’m very pleased with it.” Renowned golfers such as Sergio Garcia, Taylor Gooch and Phil Mickelson have left the PGA Tour for the Saudi backed league. Everyone seems to enjoy the life they are getting to live by being a part of Saudi backed league. They seem to have better pay, better work-life balance, and overall a better experience.
In the words of Koepka, “I feel good,” he said. “Look good, feel good, play good, right?” It can definitely be seen that he is doing better.
