The 2021 PGA Championship gave birth to an incredible moment. Phil Mickelson became the oldest major winner in history. But besides this, the tournament also re-ignited the feud between Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau. The former was caught rolling his eyes in frustration when DeChambeau walked behind him during a live interview.

It’s been a few weeks since it came out, but here’s the catch. The interview was recorded by Golf Channel, but they never released it. The video got leaked somehow and spread across the world which led to every golf fan viewing it.

“It doesn’t matter to me. I’m not too concerned. It is what it is. Like I said last week, I don’t think — I don’t live with regret. It got out, not a big deal. And as far as perception, I’m not really too concerned — I’m worried about what I’ve got to do and what I’m doing. I’m not concerned about what other people think. If I was concerned about what everybody else thought, I’d have been in a world of pain,” Koepka reacted to the video.

Koepka could be seen taking a moment to pause and roll his eyes when DeChambeau walks behind him. He was certainly agitated by something, but it is unsure if DeChambeau’s intervention was the reason.

“I think it’s good for the game. It’s bringing new eyeballs. Pretty much everything you look at online, it’s got this in the headline, or it’s up there as a big news story. To me, that’s growing the game,” Koepka said.

The 31-year-old mentioned that non-golf viewers will also be attracted by this ongoing feud. This would further entice them to further follow the sport and create an affinity towards it for the greater good.
