“I still love the PGA Tour; I’ve got nothing against them. A lot of guys I see on a daily basis around Jupiter still play on the PGA Tour. I have nothing against them. I have nothing against Jay (Monahan)."

He went on to say:

"It’s just competition, right? We are just trying to put up the best model we can, the best golf and then it’s up to the fans. We want people to watch and come to the events. We want to put on a show for everybody.”

Brooks Koepka turned professional in 2012 and has won 16 professional events in his career. Although he is yet to win the Masters, the American golfer has won two major tournaments in his career. He finished second to Tiger Woods in 2019 at The Masters and earned a five-year exemption.
