Brooks Koepka over LIV Golf questions ahead of US Open: ‘I’m tired of all this stuff’

Brooks Koepka suggested Tuesday he was finished with the LIV Golf questions.

Koepka was among the PGA Tour golfers who were asked about the Saudi-backed league, but the two-time U.S. Open winner was angered about the spotlight getting taken away from this week’s major.

“I don’t understand. 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,” Koepka said. 

“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.”

This will continue to be a topic of conversation as long as the money and the players it lures away from the PGA Tour continues. Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Phil Mickelson and Charl Schwartzel are among those competing in LIV Golf.
