‘We’re Not Buddies’: Days After Brooks Koepka’s Vile Actions at an NHL Game, Consequences Befall the Golfer

It’s not uncommon for athletes to engage in rivalries with other players from the same sport. However, when players from two different sports start beefing with each other, it is definitely an unexpected turn of events. It surely is a hot topic when a golf player takes a jibe at a hockey player.

In a surprising turn of events, a golf player has found himself embroiled in a beef with an NHL star. The golf player in question is Brooks Koepka, who is known for his impressive record on the green and his competitive spirit. However, his recent comments about NHL star, Aaron Ekblad, have caused quite a stir.

Koepka made such comments after Ekblad made an error during the game which costed Panthers a goal. However, Ekblad did not stay away for long. According to Golf Digest, the subject of Koepka’s profanity-laced tirade has responded back, and the event has made it to the front page.

The Panthers’ star let his views known and replied by saying that he does not know Koepka. Ekblad said, “We’re not buddies. Never be buddies.” Ekblad surely has kept his calm and responded back in a pleasant way.

How did Brooks Koepka defend his comments about Aaron Ekblad

Nothing is more terrible than apathy and indifference. Anger means you’ve won, or at least drawn out the opposition, but disinterest cuts deeper. Ekblad’s reply to Koepka was excellent and had disinterest in it. However, Koepka did have it in him to defend his views on Ekblad.

After being questioned by a reporter as part of a news conference for LIV Golf Orlando alongside Patrick Reed and Bubba Watson, Koepka actually had more to say. Koepka was asked about his beef with Ekblad and did he bring the cone from home. Koepka answered, “I did not bring the cone. He gave up a bad goal. It was a bad pass in the third. I’m a die-hard P’s fan, and he gave up a bad goal.” However, surely fans of both sports are eagerly waiting to see if this feud will escalate further or if the two athletes will eventually bury the hatchet.
