LIV golf has never failed to surprise us with an unexpected turn of events, and here is another. The eight times PGA tour winner has chosen the former world’s no.1 team as an opponent. But now the question is, why Koepka’s team only? Despite outstanding players and teams on the course, why did a former PGA player choose Smach GC to go against? Does he want to even numbers, or is it something fans did not expect?

Did Bryson DeChambeau appreciate rival Brooks Koepka?

During the Captains’ Selection Press Conference in Miami, Florida, USA, yesterday, DeChambeau pointed out the right time to go against the team of Koepka. He was asked about his thoughts on why he selected the team of the CJ Cup winner as the opponent for the match at Trump National Doral.

The US Open champion only thought was that the team was playing amazingly. And going against them would be fun; however, now is not the right time to go against them. There was still time left to defeat them, and he was sure it might happen next year.

He said“It would be fun, but there’s a time for that, and hopefully, it’ll happen next year.” Hoping for a great play for his team on Sunday, he said the stroke play would be the deciding point. However, it would be a great feeling to go up against the Smash GC.

Therefore, the thought was to play against a great team, but not right off the bat. Waiting for the right moment is more apt, and the Sunday matches will decide the rest. However, choosing Paul, Charles, and Anirban against the Stingers was a no-brainer for the team Crushers GC.

They did not need any particular thoughts to conclude. He said, “how it paired with Paul and Charles and Anirban against the Stingers, it was a no-brainer for us.”

The rivalry between DeChambeau and Koepka

The feud between the two pro golfers goes back to January 2019. Fans thought the rivalry was over after the 2021 Ryder Cup; however, ‘the match’ ignited it back.

The comments against the slow play of DeChambeau sowed the seeds of a feud during the 2019 Dubai Desert Classic. The golf scientist used to take his sweet time before taking a shot. It annoyed Koepka, which led to comments on ‘slow play’. The statement, however, showed the annoyance caused.

Koepka said, “I just don’t understand how it takes a minute and 20 seconds, a minute and 15 to hit a golf ball.”
