Koepka has found a way to maintain his composure and dedication to the game. Instead of wasting time pondering over uncontrollable news, he remains focused on his preparation for the upcoming U.S. Open and said, “I want to play well.” He went on further to add, “I watched a little bit of the interview, and that was it. Just went out and practiced.”

Koepka’s ability to thrive amidst chaos was evident in his recent interview, where he expressed, “The more chaotic things get, the easier it gets for me.” He said he is able to focus while everybody else is dealing with distractions, “I enjoy the chaos.

Koepka maintains a pragmatic approach. When asked about the potential penalties or conditions for LIV Golfers returning to the PGA Tour, he said, “It’s a lot of what-if games. I’m not going to play the what-if game. If it happens, it happens. If it doesn’t happen, it doesn’t happen.” Koepka’s encounter with Jordan amidst the merger turmoil serves as a reminder of the importance of finding moments of normalcy. The golfing world awaits decisions and verdicts regarding the merger.
