The three letters Brooks Koepka represents in the Ryder Cup are USA. Not LIV. The five-time major champion stands out for many reasons at golf's biggest events.
It’s not a problem for the rest of the American team. Koepka lives near four of them in Florida, shares an agent with Scottie Scheffler and has remained friendly with everyone.“I feel like I’m representing the USA. That’s what I’ve got on the front of my hat this week, so that’s what I’m representing,” Koepka said. “It’s not a group of individuals in that locker room. We’re just all one team, and that’s the way we think.
He was runner-up at the Masters and won the PGA Championship. That was nearly enough to make the team on points. Koepka finished just outside the top six, and became an obvious pick.DeChambeau won his second LIV Golf event last week in the Chicago area and argued more players from the rival league should have been considered. DeChambeau won his first LIV event at the Greenbrier with a 58 in the final round.
“There’s numerous people that I think Zach should have called out here, and we didn’t get that,” DeChambeau said after he won. “I understand. I get it. But we’re nothing different. We’re still competing. We’re still working super hard to be the best we possibly can be. Brooks is obviously going to kill it for Team USA, and excited for team. But yeah, it definitely does sting a little bit.”
“I would love to be a part of the team,” Johnson told the Palm Beach Post. “But to be honest, I haven’t really played that well, this year. ... Especially not being on the tour, I needed to play really well.”“I don’t make the decisions,” Koepka said. “Everybody had an opportunity to get there. I had the same opportunity as every other LIV player, and I’m here. Play better. That’s always the answer.
