Brooks Koepka: Mickelson backlash won't stop some players 'selling out' to Saudi Super League

Brooks Koepka believes some players will still join a breakaway league, despite the backlash following Phil Mickelson's explosive comments on the Saudi-backed circuit.

Rory McIlroy said the potential league was "dead in the water" on Sunday after Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau joined him and the likes of Tiger Woods, Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa and Koepka himself in pledging their future to the PGA Tour.
