Brooks Koepka is a rather renowned name in the golf world. It would be fair to say that his countless contributions to the game have been remarkable. Yet, when the talks of an all-sports Mount Rushmore came forth, Koepka was nowhere to be located on the list. It was in a recent tweet by a podcast by Barstool Sports, Pardon my Take, that the choices were revealed.

Mentioning his absence from the list, the 5-time Major winner retweeted with a humourous dilemma of “taking back everything I said about good luck charm”. Days after the incident, an old video resurfaced, which featured Mount Rushmore of golf again, but the entity involved was none other than the golf legend — Tiger Woods. While the 2022 World Golf Hall of Fame inductee’s surprising list did not mention Phil Mickelson or Sergio Garcia, the golf world also did not shy away from sharing their opinions on Woods’ takes. Let us dive into the details!
