Brooks Koepka’ s decision to sign up for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series ‘surprised’ Scottie Scheffler, after revealing the pair shared a chat on ‘building the PGA Tour’ just last week. Koepka became the latest golf star to make the Saudi switch, after his signing was confirmed on Wednesday.
The American joins the likes of Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson and his old rival Bryson DeChambeau in linking up with the controversial breakaway circuit in exchange for their PGA Tour membership. Koepka’s move seemed more peculiar than most, after revealing at the recent US Open he had not given the decision ‘much thought’.
And it seems the fans were not the only ones taken back by the decision, after Scheffler revealed he was surprised after speaking to him at his Ryder Cup meeting just one week ago.
