Brooks Koepka disclosed his secret behind staying fit

LIV Golf has taken away many players from the PGA Tour with their lucrative offers. Although he didn’t mention moving to the new tour for money, Brooks Koepka‘s transition along with many other players, forced the PGA Tour to increase their purses. “I feel very comfortable with the decision that was made. I’m very happy and I did what was best for me.” Koepka said about his decision to shift to LIV Golf.

Like other LIV Golf defectors, Koepka also received massive criticism for his transition to LIV Golf. However, his dedication to the game remains the same despite the change of schedules. In his recent LIV Jeddah press conference, Koepka was asked why he turned down a chocolate ice cream after his round. And to answer the question, the golfer said“I haven’t hit the gym in a long time.” He added, “Just trying to be healthy, man.”
