Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka is golf’s latest star to spurn the PGA Tour for LIV Golf, according to multiple reports. In doing so, Koepka has joined Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson as the biggest names to join the rival Saudi Arabia-backed tour.
Koepka gives LIV Golf even more momentum as the PGA Tour attempts to rally the troops at the Travelers Championship this week. There is a players-only meeting on Tuesday, and it is believed that PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan will speak on Wednesday.
According to the Telegraph, Koepka received a similar seven-figure deal as the one received by Mickelson, DeChambeau and Johnson when they jumped over.
