The golf world is filled with interesting sagas. One such saga is the famous on-and-off relationship between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. Surely, the duo has had a controversial past that broke the tabloids. However, their move to LIV Golf together was expected to make amends for their shattered past.

Although that seems to be just a daydream for now, Bryson DeChambeau’s recent admission about his counterpart has led fans to suspect whether the former still holds an old grudge against the latter from their time at ‘The Match’ in 2021. As Brooks Koepka lifted the winning trophy of the interesting event, it is suspected that Bryson DeChambeau held a grudge against him. This has been ratified in the latter’s request for a rematch with Koepka, which he denied. It seems like some wounds never heal.

However, what is more interesting is how Brooks Koepka replied to Bryson DeChambeau’s ask for a rematch. In a conversation with Rick Shiels on the Rick Shiels Golf Show Podcast, talking about Brooks Koepka, Bryson DeChambeau revealed, “I need a rematch against him but he wants money. But the thing is, he wants, at least from what I’ve heard, it’s like, let’s just go play, let’s show off your team, show off my team.” When asked if he is talking about a wager, the 30-year-old said, “I am not talking about a wager. I’m talking about how he wants to get paid.”

Brooks Koepka’s request to get paid to tee it up against his old rival and rare accomplice, Bryson DeChambeau, has got the golf world talking about this duo once again with this hilarious secret. The way that Brooks Koepka has made his demands to get paid clear has invited some raised eyebrows in the duo’s direction. Whatever the reason might be, a key aspect worth exploring is their interesting love-hate relationship.
