The fan unknowingly got too close to Koepka and it made him angry. Koepka got furious and unexpectedly snatched the fan’s phone. The video of the incident went viral on the internet.

Koepka could be heard yelling at the fan and saying, “get it out of my face, man!”. He held the fan’s phone for a moment and then his manager returned the phone to the fan. And that is not all that Koepka did at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play. He also reacted angrily at a few fans who were simply seeking an autograph from the golf legend.

Why did Koepka leave the PGA Tour?

“Just my opinion. My opinion changed,” Koepka stated after the media questioned him regarding his reason behind leaving the PGA Tour. He added, “I feel very comfortable with the decision that was made. I’m very happy and I did what was best for me.”. It is believed that Koepka received around 100 million dollars for joining the LIV Golf Invitational Series.

A lot of other players also recently left the PGA Tour and joined the high-paying LIV Golf Tour. Golf legends like Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson also became a part of the Saudi-backed league, leaving their PGA Tour days behind. With all of this commoton going on, it is uncertain what the future holds for the sport of golf.
