The Jeddah event is an important date of the 2023 LIV season for many reasons. Firstly, those players who haven’t been able to score a win this season will try their best to change this and earn it this week. Then there is also the question of the Individual title Championship the winner of which will get $18 million in prize and the competition for that is tough.

Also, there are those players who are under threat of facing relegation and Brooks Koepka’s brother Chase Koepka is one of them and he is standing helpless.

Brooks Koepka’s thoughts about his brother’s possible relegation from the LIV Tour

This has been quite the year for Brooks Koepka. Not only did he win the one LIV event but also hoisted his flag at the major PGA Championship on the PGA Tour. He recently played in the Ryder. His team may have lost but no one can take away Brooks’s pride of being the only LIV golfer to be playing in the Ryder Cup. 

But unfortunately, his younger brother Chase does not share the same luck. Chase’s performance throughout the season has been unsatisfactory, and it has put him in the danger zone with three other names. Along with Chase this week is the relegation time for Ripper GC’s Jed Morgan, HyFlyers GC’s James Piot, and Iron Heads GC’s Sihwan Kim.

And Brooks who is the team captain at LIV has put on his responsible hat and not letting relationships hold him back from taking a strong stand. Speaking about the possibility of Chase’s relegation Brooks said, “There’s nothing I can do. At the end of the day, it’s up to him. I know he’s working hard, he’s been trying, we’ve been practicing together quite a bit, honestly, he’s just struggling a little bit.”

He continued, “I’ve been there, we’ve all been there, every golfer has. It’s part of it. He was playing mini-tour golf 18 months ago. So, I don’t think the last year and a half has been too hard on him.” Brooks has toughened himself and is ready for all results. However, Chase is down about it.

What does Chase Koepka think of this impending danger?

Jeddah is the last opportunity for Chase and others to move from the Drop Zone into the Open Zone, which will give them free agency and the possibility of re-signing with their own teams. Speaking about the relegation possibility he said, “Sometimes, you’ve just got to embrace the suck. It’s my own fault for putting myself in this position. All I can do is try to play well. It hasn’t gone very well for me at all this year.”
