Brooks Koepka, The PGA Championship and PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh has attracted the eye of social media in an awkward confrontation, users worldwide in a viral scene that has left onlookers perplexed.

Brooks Koepka, a seasoned golfer, won his fifth major victory at Oak Hill, putting in a strong effort on Sunday with a 3-under 67. His outstanding abilities earned him a two-shot victory over the defending Masters champion, Scottie Scheffler.

Seth Waugh said:

“I literally said to him, I think they have 4 million photos of me. They must have 24 million photos of you. I’ve never seen one of them & I don’t know if you ever have?”

Koepka took part in the usual post-victory photo session with the championship trophy, as is customary. However, Twitter users were quick to observe an apparent awkward conversation between the famed golfer and Seth Waugh, CEO of the PGA of America.

Waugh told The Times of London last week:

"Their logic about the team play being something significant that people can get behind I think is flawed. I don't think people really care about it. And I don't see how it's a survivable business model. They can fund it for as long as they want to, but no matter how much money you have, at some point, burning it doesn't feel very good."

The nature of this interaction has created much conjecture and raised many questions among the online community.
