‘JT Was Talking About Pro Golf’: Brooks Koepka Suffers an Epic Fail as His Attempt to Diffuse Latest Controversy Gets Hilariously Shut Down by Fans

In recent times, the name Alan Shipnuck has made waves in the world of golf, though not necessarily for the right reasons. With controversial claims first targeting Phil Mickelson and now Rory McIlroy, Shipnuck’s recent book excerpt has drawn significant attention.

Justin Thomas, a prominent figure in the golfing world, took a stand against these sourceless claims, highlighting the disturbing trend of such allegations circulating online. In his tweet, he expressed concern on behalf of fellow PGA tour players.

Not to be left out, Brooks Koepka also chimed in on the discussion, but his involvement resulted in a barrage of backlash from fans.

Responding to the book’s quote about an unnamed former Ryder Cup teammate of Rory McIlroy, who allegedly claimed that McIlroy had been “bought and paid for,” Koepka joined Justin Thomas in condemning such claims. However, his attempt to include himself and other LIV golfers opened a Pandora’s box of criticism in the comments section.

While the negative comments predominantly targeted Koepka for siding with LIV golf, some commenters came to the defense of Alan Shipnuck. The responses covered a wide spectrum, from bashing Koepka for supporting LIV golf to taking jabs at his alleged personal flaws.

Critics questioned Koepka’s credibility due to his association with LIV golf, particularly highlighting the Saudi financial involvement in the league. Others found humor in the situation, emphasizing that Koepka’s comment was an attempt to source players anonymously to counter Shipnuck’s anonymous sources.

In the midst of this social media storm, fans continued to express their disapproval of LIV golf and its association with Koepka. Some suggested that Rory McIlroy might confirm the allegations to distance himself from LIV.

It’s evident from the comments section that a significant portion of fans remains skeptical of LIV golfers, including Koepka. The debate over Koepka’s response rages on, with opinions sharply divided.
