A golf star on the PGA tour has taken a swipe at Brooks Koepka ’s maiden LIV title win. The American captured his first trophy on the Saudi-backed circuit after seeing off Peter Uhlein in a play-off to land the LIV Golf Invitational trophy in the final individual event of the tour's inaugural season in Jeddah.
The four-time major champion defeated his Smash GC teammate in the third play-off hole after his birdie on the 18th left him 12 under in Saudi Arabia. As the night drew in, Koepka sealed the win and captured his first trophy since winning the Waste Management Phoenix Open in February 2021.
It was also his largest payday, as he claimed the £3.6 million first prize and a further £670,000 for his share in his team's triumph. While many were happy to see the 32-year-old win big, compatriot Joel Dahmen took a perceived dig at the controversial circuit’s viewing figures. “If a player wins a golf tournament in a forest and no one sees it, does it count?,” he said in a cheeky tweet.
