WATCH: Brooks Koepka does the ultimate five sports showdown at Barstool
Brooks Koepka is one of the best golfers of this generation, but this isn't the only sport he's good at. Koepka recently visited the Barstool Sports gym, where he demonstrated his skills in five different sports.
Koepka last competed at the LIV Golf Greenbrier, which he won in a playoff. This was his second win of the season and fifth on the Saudi-backed circuit.
On Tuesday, September 10, Barstool Sports shared a video on Instagram where Brooks Koepka can be seen trying his hand at baseball, football, soccer, and basketball. The challenge was named 'The Yak Gauntlet.'
While trying his hand at baseball, the five-time major champion took five swings to hit the ball into the fair zone. He needed six shots to hit the target in football and six shots to make his first three-pointer in basketball. However, he made his second three-pointer with just three more shots. Here's the clip:
