Luke Clanton shares 'opposite' motivating messages he got from Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka
Luke Clanton is playing at the Fortinet Championship this week, taking place at Silverado Resort and Spa. Before the golfer teed up for the $6 million event, he joined the SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio and shared about the two opposite motivating suggestions he received from Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.
A short clip of that interview was uploaded on the podcast's X page. Luke Clanton first described Scheffler's ideology and stated how the World No. 1 golfer keeps himself away from temptation as a Christ believer.
“Well, I got two people in two pretty opposite responses, but the one that I really liked a lot was Scottie. Of course, I play with Scottie in the practice round, I asked him a question, and how does he deal with the fame, the money, and the temptation with everything? Because he's a big believer in Christ, and so am I. And he basically looked at and said, golf is just a game. And once you understand that, golf becomes a lot more fun,” Luke Clanton said.
Then, he continued to talk about what Brooks Koepka advised him.
“But, you know, and then Brooks Koepka texted me and said, go kill everybody out there and win. So it's one of those two things where it's like two opposite people. But, you know, Brooks is also an incredible guy…He's given a lot of help for deaf issue guys,” he added.
Luke Clanton will start to play in the Fortinet Championship on Thursday, September 12.
