Professional golfer Brooks Koepka just had a dream run of a season at the PGA Championship this year. After winning the championship, Koepka headed out to the FLA Live Arena in order to support his favorite NHL team, Florida Panthers. The Florida Panthers just took on the Carolina Hurricanes for the Stanley Cup playoffs, and there was no way a Panthers superfan i.e. Koepka was going to miss watching the match live. But Brooks Koepka didn’t go alone.

Accompanying him were fellow LIV golfer Dustin Johnson and his wife Paulina Gretzky. While the match in itself was fun and so was the company of Koepka, popular couple Dustin and Paulina went backstage to share a loved-up moment together.

Presumably, they proceeded to watch the game with Koepka, who was missing from Gretzky’s stories, where the Panthers eventually won. The home team beat the Carolina Hurricanes 1-0, while Sam Reinhart of the Panthers scored the goal in the 2nd half. The Panthers are currently leading 3-0 against the Hurricanes, having won all 3 of their encounters this season so far, with two more games to go.

As for Koepka, the 33-year-old golfer is currently on cloud nine, having won his 3rd Wanamaker Trophy. He defeated some of the biggest names in golf including Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland. Dustin Johnson on the other hand didn’t have such a great major and ended up in T55 position. However, both of them had some great fun watching the Panthers vs Hurricanes game in Florida together.
