“Perfectly acceptable answer” – Fans react to Brooks Koepka admitting to joining LIV Golf for the big payout
Last year, Brooks Koepka left the PGA tour to join the LIV League. Recently, he disclosed the real reason behind why he switched tours. According to his latest revelation at Jake Paul BS Podcast, the five-time Major winner confessed that it was all about the whooping million deals that led him to take the brave step.
Koepka, who has reportedly signed a $130 million deal with the LIV Golf, was one of the big names to join the Saudi-backed league. He has admitted that he got one of the biggest signing bonuses (a 9-digit deal) handed out by the league on the podcast.
NUCLR Golf took to its X handle to share Brooks Koepka's statement.
“Look, I’ll be honest with you – I signed for the dough. I’m 100% behind that. I don’t know if tomorrow I’ll get in a car accident and never play golf again but my family is taken care of.” —Brooks Koepka opens up on why he joined LIV Golf.

It must be noted that Koepka changed his mind after initially saying he wouldn't play for LIV Golf but then quit the PGA Tour to compete for the millions in the team golf competition.

Nevertheless, his fifth win came earlier this year when he successfully won the PGA Championship in May.
Soon after his honest statement went public, fans went on to share their perspective on the same.
