Money Can’t Buy Class’: Fans Bash Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims’s New Year Spree; Use it to Stain LIV Golf’s Legacy

The PGA Tour and LIV Golf are currently working to extend their initially set merger deadline, which was originally slated for December 31. While that remains a moot point for the golf community, the celebrations persisted as Mr. and Mrs. Koepka ushered in the new year in their distinctive style. Well, a not-so “Happy New Year” for the 5-time major champ, it looks like.

A video originally posted on Brooks Koepka‘s official Instagram account was reposted on ‘X’  by NUCLR GOLF and the impact it had was nothing short of extraordinary as it reached almost 225,000 views just in two hours. Describing its popularity as a mere “blow-up” would be an understatement. The post was captioned, “🔥🎉 Brooks Koepka & Jena Sims went ☢️ on New Year’s Eve 👀(🎥: @bkoepka). However, what followed was not love for the couple but the fans questioning the PIF-funded league.

Even the 5-time major champ and his wife must not have thought that a few minutes of harmless fun would rake in such a reaction from the community.

Brooks Koepka’s New Year celebrations throw the internet into chaos

Responses from the fans ranged from those of sarcasm put forward hilariously to those commenting on the ‘money’ aspect of the PIF-funded circuit. Nevertheless, the fans did go ahead and wrap their gifts in words of finesse for the league. Let us take a quick look at some of them.

Being an ambassador for an organization does bring a lot of privilege to an athlete and the brand. Well, a fan did sarcastically point out how a certain body, namely the PGA Tour, wouldn’t be too sad to see the 33-year-old representing them owing to the video and wrote, “The PGA Tour is devastated not having Brooks as a Tour Ambassador. Lol.”

Many professionals jumped ships to the Saudi-backed circuit owing to the amount of money that they were offered. Koepka was also able to receive a staggering $130 million owing to the talent he showcased on the greens. But, a follower of the PGA Tour used the opportunity to take a not-so-subtle jab at the same and wrote, “Money can’t buy class.”

Certain fans launched a relentless attack on both the couple and LIV Golf. Despite the buzz about the disruptive circuit and its unique approach to golf, skepticism persists. One fan, seizing the opportunity in the comment section, expressed “tell me more how the pga is better than liv—- i’ll wait”

Many players, including the latest LIV Golf entry Jon Rahm, cited reasons for growing the sport as his motive behind joining the league. Well, you can guess what the next response from the followers was as they took their chance to throw a jab at the circuit. One user commented, “That is really going to “grow the game”.”

However, not every follower shared disdain for the couple and the alternate tour. A LIV Golf fan did express himself in the comments as he took to wish the couple, all the while playing with his words and wrote, “Liv, laugh, love.”

Although the duo decided to welcome 2024 in their own style, it did not sit well with many in the community. However, they would have dusted themselves off and moved forward for a hopeful new year regardless. What did you think of the video? Share your comments below.
