A stunning concord has rattled the golf world. The big names like PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf, usually on the opposite ends, have shaken hands. Simply put, professional golf will now welcome a unified entity that will have all three leagues present as one unit. The same body that backed LIV Golf would provide a solid financial foundation. That is none other than Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund!
This emergence of golf’s new golden age has abruptly stopped all the feuds between the leagues. Not only this, men’s golf professionals will again share a harmonious environment under one name. While the focus of the recent update has mostly been on the golf leagues and players, it has also relieved the family members of some golfers. Brooks Koepka‘s wife, Jena Sims, is one of them!

Arguably, nothing would mark the history of golf like the morning of 6th June 2023. The most unexpected merger has tapped the windows of every corner of the golf ecosystem. It includes the players, the leagues, the supporters, the media, the fans, and definitely those related to the golfers. Similarly, when the news knocked on Jena Sims’ door, she greeted it like a true golfer’s wife.
The actress and model supported her husband when he shifted to LIV Golf. Despite all the negativity that surrounded the major move, she stood like a pillar beside Koepka. While the golf audience did not make it easy for the LIV defectors, Sims has relentlessly supported her husband.
However, now with the mega-merger, the 34-year-old sure appeared to be relieved. It is fathomable why she would feel this way. The rivalry between the traditionalists and the rebels led to great distress for everyone. And Finally, it is over! In her Instagram story, she posted a screenshot of the current biggest golf news.
The words read that the PGA Tour and PIF have announced a coalition that has ended the ‘Civil War in professional golf ‘. Jena Sims, in a heartfelt emotional manner, addressed the same. After professional golf, she added, “And on social media to innocent bystanders and families of the players who joined LIV“, implying that indeed a stressful period, especially for those who had chosen LIV Golf, has come to a conclusion.
Brooks Koepka also shares his reaction to the new age that golf has entered
All the noise and mayhem from the news received a little unique response from Brooks Koepka. Unlike his wife, the golfer provided a 4-word response to the same.
Right as the information entered the public arena, Koepka tweeted, “Welfare Check on Chamblee.” Brandel Chamblee has been one of the most outspoken people against the Saudi-backed LIV Golf. However, the new dynamics of the professional game are sure to offer the golf analyst something to think about.
