Brooks Koepka earned the fifth Major title of his career after lifting the Wanamaker trophy at the 2023 PGA Championship. Just after the win, Koepka showed up at the Florida Panthers’ Eastern Conference Final game against the Carolina Hunters on Monday.
The Panthers won 1-0 over the Hunters, and now lead the series 3-0. However, golf fans were caught up on Koepka, who looked rather intense during the match. His face at the match was intense and fans could see the golfer was clearly keenly invested in the game.
Fans were quick to make some hilarious jokes about the 33-year-old. They jokingly insinuated that his eyes were wide because of some substance he was using. All was in good humor, however, and they were just having a bit of fun.
"More like, 'This is a man on Adderal'"
“Locked in”
"Except when he get up every 20 mins to do lines of the toilet bowl"
"Brooks Cokeka"
"He looks pretty well hydrated. #GoBrooks"
"Hockey games are fast this is a normal look of a hockey fan"
"He got the pure white last night to celebrate the big W. Probably hasn’t slept since finishing the 18th."
