Is Brooks Koepka the next to go?

PGA star Brooks Koepka set the internet on fire on Monday night when he removed “PGA Tour” from his Twitter bio. Immediately speculation swirled that this had to be about a potential move to LIV Golf. Here’s what Koepka’s bio looked like after the change Monday night:

And here’s what it looked like earlier in the day before he changed it:

This was all about his move to LIV Golf.

Koepka is just the latest in a long line of big name former PGA Tour players to ditch the Tour in favor of LIV. Amongst the players who have already done so are Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Ian Poulter, Lee Westwood, and Koepka rival, Bryson DeChambeau.

Last week at the U.S. Open, Koepka was not pleased with the line of questioning he received about LIV but he was also not adamant about his commitment to the PGA Tour.

“There’s been no other option to this point, so where else are you going to go?” he asked.

When pushed about LIV, Koepka got defensive.

“As of last week,” he said. “That’s it. I wasn’t playing last week. I’m here. I’m here at the U.S. Open. I’m ready to play U.S. Open, and I think it kind of sucks, too, you are all throwing this black cloud over the U.S. Open. It’s one of my favorite events. I don’t know why you guys keep doing that.

“The more legs you give it, the more you keep talking about it.”

He was even more defensive later in the press conference.

“I don’t understand,” he said. “I’m trying to focus on the U.S. Open, man. I legitimately don’t get it. I’m tired of the conversations. I’m tired of all this stuff. Like I said, y’all are throwing a black cloud on the U.S. Open. I think that sucks. I actually do feel bad for them for once because it’s a sh—y situation. We’re here to play, and you are talking about an event that happened last week.”

With Koepka’s departure, LIV has plucked all the bad boys from the PGA.
