“Full of Talent”: Brooks Koepka’s Bold Claims Go in Vain As Greg Norman Jr. Showers Praises for the Defector Who Fell Under BK’s Radar

The Saudi-backed LIV Golf is currently spread out near White Sulphur Springs in Greenbrier. This is the tenth event in the 2023 season for the league, and it has ardently delivered a good game of golf in its very first round. Thanks to the defector from the Smash GC, golf enthusiasts were compelled to witness an amazing execution of skills with a 9-under-par finish.

Consequently, this impressive round of 61 had to have special shots embedded in it. Hence, it was not surprising to see the 24-year-old’s card adorn five birdies on the first six holes and an eagle, all on Day 1. This dominant score further enabled the golfer to cover two bogeys the following day, which ended at 3 under par. Overall, the precision of the skills was such that even Greg Norman’s son couldn’t hold back his praise for the golfer. As a result, these compliments overshadowed the previous claims of captain Brooks Koepka.

Amidst his highs and lows, the LIV defector finds a fan in Greg Norman Jr.

Matthew Wolff has not had the most ideal year up until now. Ever since joining LIV Golf, the American star has had a tough time adjusting to the greens. It was recently during the Greenbrier event of LIV Golf that fans and professionals again caught a glimpse of Wolff’s exceptional talent. Witnessing the skillful scene, Greg Norman Jr. also grabbed the opportunity to applaud the young professional for his golfing prowess.

In a recent tweet, Greg Norman Jr. stated his happiness for the golf star and wrote, “Pretty stoked for Matty Wolf right now.” Adding further, he divulged having played with the golfer the previous year at the Grove alongside Dustin Johnson (DJ). Absolutely delighted with Wolff’s playing abilities, he continued, “He crushes the ball. No joke as long as DJ and just flushes the irons” and claimed that the golfer was “full of talent“.

Norman Jr. went on to talk about how exceptional of a talent Wolff actually is and how far he has come in his journey of finding a place in the golfing world. The CEO of EuropaLabs Inc. displayed his utter belief in the young golfer’s techniques. And he chimed in by saying how his road to becoming a star only requires a single big moment of proving himself.

Even though Matthew Wolff gained a lot of praise from the Shark’s son and the golf world, it will certainly be difficult for him to forget the past as easily. Aside from his own disappointing performances, his captain, Brooks Koepka’s haunting words, also dented his confidence.

For some time now, reports about clashes between Brooks Koepka and his teammate Matthew Wolff have been making the rounds online. One of the neoteric concerns came forth through a media outlet that featured Koepka and his bold statement against his Smash GC member. Per the comment, the captain sounded disappointed in his teammate.

Referring to Wolff’s previous actions in the LIV tournaments, the 5-time major winner said, “A lot of talent, but I mean the talent’s wasted”. Given the intensity of the words, it was obvious that Wolff referred to them as “heartbreaking“. However, despite the stumbling blocks he has faced for a long time, the young athlete demonstrated a positive outlook on Friday.

The Old White in the United States extracted a promising performance from the LIV golfer. Referencing his dominant 61 score, Wolff revealed how his latest accomplishment on the greens was a reminder for himself. The young star believed that, at the end of the day, it was just golf.

No matter what, one has to accept both the good and the bad days. Hence, the Californian native reiterated that the fact he was able to play well on Friday doesn’t guarantee the same results the next day. No matter what, for now, Matthew Wolff’s Friday scorecard at Greenbrier will have provided some relief to the golfer and given him a boost of confidence.
