Countless fans cheer for Brooks Koepka, but who does the five-time Major winner cheer for? Professional golfers across the LIV Golf – PGA Tour spectrum are known to support various clubs across different sports. Most recently, both Rory McIlroy and Tyrrell Hatton went to Anfield to watch Manchester United in their away game against Liverpool. Shane Lowry is also known to be a Manchester United fan. Moreover, Jon Rahm, who recently joined the Saudi-backed side, kicked off the match for Athletic Bilbao in Spain a few days ago. 

Brooks Koepka too is known to frequent the home ground of Florida Panthers. The Miami-based team currently sits in the 3rd position in the Atlantic Division of the NHL. Koepka, a self-proclaimed superfan of the NHL franchise, was present in the rematch of the 2023 Stanley Cup final as well.

Brooks Koepka has been spotted in the Florida Panthers’ game several times. Interestingly, many times the nine-time PGA Tour winner went viral on social media because of his animated reactions.

Early this year, a viral video of Koepka circulated on the internet. The five-time Major champion was yelling at the Panthers defender Aaron Ekblad. The 27-year-old made an extremely poor pass that led the Cats to lose the game to the New York Rangers. Koepka was furious. With an orange traffic cone in hand, he was shouting at the defender: “You’re a f**ing traffic cone.” Koepka explained his reasons in a post-game chat.

I’m a diehard P’s fan,” the 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah champion admitted to GolfWRX. And, like a true superfan, he decided to celebrate his 2023 PGA Championship victory by taking the Wanamaker trophy to the FLA Live Arena a few months later. The Panthers didn’t disappoint the five-time Major winner that time, as they won their playoff match against Carolina Hurricanes. 

Notably, Koepka’s wife Jena Sims is a fan of the NHL team as well. This time, the 33-year-old thought it was time for Crew Koepka to don the Panthers jersey. So, Koepka decided to inject some of that Florida Panthers fever into his son as well by taking him to the FLA Live Arena last night.
