PITTSBURGH — The defection of Brooks Koepka to the LIV Golf series — with another prominent name expected to soon follow — is yet another example of the Saudi-backed circuit targeting some of the PGA Tour's most popular players. Or so it would appear.
The addition of Koepka, the only player in history to win two majors in back-to-back years (U.S. Open, PGA), could be considered the biggest addition to the rival tour, certainly in terms of number of major titles. But it's also the most stunning, especially given his change of heart from disparaging comments he has made all along about the LIV series.
Money, of course, will do that to a person, especially lots of it.
