Former Ryder Cup Captain Wants Brooks Koepka to ‘Relinquish’ Ryder Cup Spot Over Disparaging Comments

Every two years, selected golfers from the USA and Europe come together for the Ryder Cup. An individual sport otherwise, players have to play as a team for three days when the biennial tournament arrives. Naturally, it remains a difficult adjustment for players, who have to work hard to play in sync. During a recent interview, Brooks Koepka shared his views on the same.

However, his words seem to have affected a few others like Paul Azinger, who has spoken up about Kopeka and his recent interview. According to Azinger, Koepka might not actually be a fan of the Ryder Cup.

What does Paul Azinger have to say about Brooks Koepka and his Ryder Cup comments?

While talking to Golf Digest, Koepka admitted that playing at the Ryder Cup is indeed difficult. When playing individually, one can take responsibility for their actions. During the Ryder Cup, as one plays as a team, one bad move can affect someone else’s game as well. In the end, it is a stark contrast from Koepka’s actual schedule, and he does not see his personal team enough.

Adding on to that, he added that he cannot make it to the gym often either, and had to do so at 5:00 AM during the President’s Cup. “I might take an hour, hour-and-a-half nap, or just chill on the couch and watch “SportsCenter,” before rounds, after rounds, whatever. There’s no time to do that at the Ryder Cup. There’s no time to decompress”.
