Brooks Koepka blames media for LIV 'black cloud' hanging over golf's US Open

Major winners Koepka and Jon Rahm offer diverse opinions on the controversial alternative tour that's the talk of golf

Coach Pete Cowan and Koepka

While 2020 winner Bryson DeChambeau made the “business decision” to join Liv Golf, the two other US Open champions in the last five years sit very differently on the fence that divides the game.

The LIV Golf disruption and the schism it has created hangs over the U.S. Open like a “black cloud” as Brooks Koepka called it, blaming the media for its presence instead of the unlimited pot of Saudi riches that created it or the indefinite suspensions issued by the PGA Tour commissioner to those who crossed the line.
