Footage surfaced on social media where Brooks Koepka was seen cursing Florida Panthers' Aaron Ekblad. In the clip, we can see Koepka holding a traffic cone by himself where he is yelling 'f****** traffic cone' at Ekblad. The traffic cone is a sign of being slow and is an insult aimed at the defender.
He then goes on to shout,
"Ekblad you s*ck!"
The Panthers lost their home game against the New York Rangers by 4-3 despite having an early 2-0 lead.
The viral video has received almost a million views on Instagram and several thousand views on Twitter.
Here are some of the reactions to the clip by Twitter users:
"Panthers score immediately lol"
"Wow. That's embarrassing if that's him. Get a grip BK."
"Sad, get this guy some help"
"When did he start hanging with Matt Grzelcyk’s Charlestown buddies? Those sweatzedos scream Bunker Hill! Love the look boys!!"
"BK, hit the range and tell ur wife she’s suppose to eat her pizza not sleep on it"
"Why are all those guys dressed the same?"
"World class chirp from Brooksie"
"says the guys who was a pylon on the PGA tour as better players passed him on the leaderboard"
"What does he know about hockey let alone playing defence!!??"
"The ballsuck crew sporting the Adidas warmups."
"A pylon holding a pylon"
"Said the sand trap."
"Someone tell Bruce it ain’t 2018 anymore"
"W'ho is Brooks Koepka? Chase’s big brother?"
"Couple to many nose beers for Blake Koepka"
"That’s the lead singer of the Adidas Tracksuit Brigade, noted 90’s pop-punk cover band that’s really big on the high school reunion party circuit."
"He’s got to do something to try and become relevant again. PS it failed. He still looks like a sellout."
"In the biz it’s called a Pylon Brooksie"
"Def not Chase."
"Can’t wait for someone to do this to him out on the course"
"Face of a washed up career"
"At least he isn’t a face painter."
"What a loser this Cupcake is, nice track suit loser"
"Oh wouldn't we love to see Brooksie drop the gloves with Ekblad? Bring your wedge, buddy."
"Dude you golf….Please please please put some skates on you loser and go say that to him on the ice."
"Easy to act unprofessional, when you aren’t a real professional anymore"
"Typical classless LIV player. Although Ekblad has had his troubles for another pro athlete to mock another in public shows what kind a guy he is. If someone were to do that on a course he’s want to go fight them. Jerk!!!! Btw tiger is a superstar he’s not"
"King of the Yips running his mouth, got paid for playing shit golf, can’t handle pressure. Sit down bud. Bryson is ahead of you by 1 pt, you have 0 in this year’s LIV Standings 😂"
What next for Brooks Koepka?
Koepka hasn't had a great season so far. In the two LIV Golf events this season, he finished 31st and 29th in Mayakoba and Tucson respectively. His team, Smash GC, hasn't done any better either with 9th and 10th finishes in the two tournaments so far.
Koepka will tee it up in Orlando this week for the third LIV Golf League event of 2023.
