Brooks Koepka’s younger brother, Chase Koepka, has had a fairly rough season in 2023. The Smash GC player’s probability of making it to the upcoming 2024 season of LIV Golf seems to be very low. However, a recent post on X presents him with a sigh of relief.
The post talked about how Chase Koepka is winning regardless of his performance in the game this year. He has made a total of $6.5 million in just two years through his stint at LIV Golf. The post also suggested that it was possible for Chase now to retire to the business side of the golf world, considering the big bucks he has made playing the game.
The post read, “I know Chase Koepka has taken a lot of grief this year. But he is winning no matter what. Dude made $6.5m in the last 2 years, got a free Lambo, and had the signature moment of LIV Golf. He can retire to the biz side of golf tomorrow & be good if he wants. S/O to him!”

Fans were quick to react to this post about Brooks’ brother.
Should Brooks Koepka get all the credit?
Fans on X were quick to react to this hot new perspective. While some fans found themselves appreciating Koepka for achieving this milestone, others took the news with a pinch of salt. It was also linked to how LIV Golf players earn millions just so easily and how that serves the entire purpose.
A set of people also linked this latest achievement with his brother Brooks Koepka’s help. All in all, it was a diverse and critical comments section filled with questions and remarks. Here are some of the reactions.
A curious fan expressed their confusion and asked how Chase Koepka’s earnings were calculated by the postmaker. They asked about the math on Chase’s earnings.
Curious about the math on his earnings…?

Another fan pointed out how there is still a possibility that Chase Koepka can still make it to the 2024 season of LIV Golf, and reunite with his brother.
Ace Koepka can also place in the top three in the promotions event in December and be back playing with his brother on Smash GC next year

A fan quickly drew the link between Chase’s current status at LIV Golf and his famous brother’s resources and connections. They also talked about how LIV Golf is an exhibition league, and it is merely luck that Chase achieved what he achieved.
The only reason he’s playing is cause Big Brother got him in. It was guaranteed money in an exhibition league. It’s equivalent to someone winning $6.5m from a scratch ticket. If Brooks didn’t jump to LIV… Chase is still missing cuts in minitour events.

Whereas, another fan brought attention to the interesting profit Chase Koepka has made simply because he is Brooks Koepka’s lucky younger brother.

One of the fans pointed out that they felt that Chase was given a free pass by the Smash GC Captain and liked his way into the millions of dollars of earnings in the past two years.
He was the worst player in LIV yet Brooks undressed Wolff all year and gave chase a free pass. Having said that, kudos to chase for lucking his way into that money for a year and a half

Yet another fan was left confused after reading the post. They chose to question the sanctity of the praise Chase received through this post.
Proud of that?????
