The pair were recently seen interviewing together. This was a departure from the previous feud between the two parties. DeChambeau and Koepka were blunt and brutally honest in expressing their thoughts on LIV Golf players receiving world ranking points.

Bryson said, “They’re delaying the inevitable. We’ve hit every mark in their criteria. To not get points is kinda crazy as, at least I believe, we have the top players in the world.”
