As the back-to-back two-time US Open champion seeks to secure a massive chunk of the whopping $21.5 million purse prize, he took to X to read some "mean tweets". Posted originally on the Smash GC's X page, Koepka reacted to a tweet by user @hoghunter838 that read:
"S**k that Tiger d**k b**ch @BKoepka "
Koepka commented that the statement was "aggressive" with a chuckle. Here are Brooks Koepka's reactions to a few other mean posts on the X platform.
X user @theKMc7 posted on their platform telling the LIV Golf star to "S**k it in fat boy ".
Brooks Koepka burst into laughter. As Koepka and his wife, Jena Sims, welcomed their firstborn child, baby boy Crew Sims Koepka, into the world last year, he responded while chuckling:
"I've been trying bro. I got the dad bod going. I'm not worried about in anymore. "
An X user took to the platform to make the claim that Brooks Koepka is the "worst human in professional golf". The user also commented saying that Koepka is "even worse that Patrick Reed".
Brooks Koepka found the post hillarious and responded that Reed is "a good dude".
