The host threw a star-studded line-up of PGA Tour and LIV Golf stars at Brooks Koepka but he stayed mum. Ace golfers from Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele to Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm couldn't break his silence. Sporting an a black pullover and white cap, it took the host almost 30 seconds to arrive at a name that could break Koepka.

It was none other than Tiger Woods. The moment the LIV Golfer heard his name, he started laughing, admitting that Woods was indeed better than him. He further added, that he had initially planned on staying quiet throughout the video but just couldn't after hearing Woods' name. He said:

"Amateurs, like, play pro-ams or just playing with them at home and different things like that when they get into trouble, it’s they always think they got to go for the green and the hero shot," Koepka said.

He further added:

"I think that’s just one thing that ams, they don’t understand is, pros, when you get in trouble, the first rule is get out,"

Koepka also talked about what he tells amatuers when he plays with them.

"I think it’s amazing when you go play with these guys, I’m like, if you literally just hit it out to like how you did — play it safe, you know, take a wedge, you’re going to end up making a better score nine times out of 10,"

Brooks Koepka has played a great deal of Pro-Am rounds in his career. Currently, he is playing in the fourth edition of LIV Golf.
