Golf fans are enthralled with the ongoing beef between Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. However, one should be aware that this rivalry did not suddenly pop up and has been existing for quite a long time. It just re-ignited after the 2021 PGA Championship. Both players have exchanged words on the internet, but what does DeChambeau have to say about all this?
Bryson DeChambeau faced the brunt of his beef with Koepka at the 2021 Memorial Tournament. Fans at Muirfield Village Golf Club taunted the golfer by screaming “Brooksie” from the sidelines.
Things escalated quickly as DeChambeau began to lose his focus due to the outside noise. At one point, he decided to alert the tournament security about the hostile fans. They were later escorted out of the venue, after which Koepka released a video that looked like a jab at DeChambeau.

Brooks Koepka is a very competitive person and Bryson DeChambeau is no easy-going athlete either. While these two are yet to uplift their rivalry with a final-round pairing, the build-up itself has been entertaining.
“He’s had stuff with other people too. Like Rory and numerous others. So this isn’t a one-off thing. So, you know, it’s just the way he deals with stuff and I’m totally fine with it,” DeChambeau added.
