Brooks Koepka was a running topic recently on the Fore Play Podcast. Actually, the conversation was about a potential movie about Rory McIlroy and his Masters victory. While talking about the potential cast for this movie, analyst Frankie Borrelli pitched a Marvel actor who could potentially play Koepka's role.

On April 24, Frankie Borrelli, Luggage Guy Trent, and Dr. Dan Rapaport were discussing a variety of topics on Fore Play Podcast's YouTube channel. One of the segments of the podcast was Golf TV Shows/Movies when Rory McIlroy's Masters win drew their full attention.

The three of them thought it would be a great idea for a film, so Frankie Borrelli began taking the names of the actors who could potentially play the golfers involved. One name Borrelli had in mind was $25 million-worth Josh Brolin (according to Celebrity Net Worth), renowned for his role as Thanos, the primary antagonist in Marvel Cinematic Universe's Infinity Saga movies.

Frankie Borrelli backed Brolin to play Brooks Koepka in this film due to his uncanny similarity with the LIV Golf star, mentioning that they could "show up to each other's roles right now". The analyst explained it all by stating:

"The other one I'll throw out there is, and I'm gonna cast him immediately, this is a shoo-in for the movie. It's Brooks Koepka going to be played by... oh my god, why I am blanking his name?... Who's Thanos?... Josh Brolin" [ 55:30 onwards]

Brooks Koepka's journey at this year's Masters came to an end early when he failed to make the cut. He shot two rounds of 74 and 75, putting him 5 shots over par, leading him to miss the cut for the weekend, which was set at two over par this year.

Koepka's most talked-about incident at Augusta this year was his triple bogey on the 18th hole. This had a significant impact on his score, resulting in his early exit from the tournament.
