It seemed to start in 2019 when Koepka was less than subtle when complaining about DeChambeau’s slow play. Upon hearing the comments, DeChambeau challenged Koepka to say it to his face.
When Koepka made an appearance in ESPN the Magazine’s body issue, DeChambeau allegedy quipped that Koepka did not have any abs. In response, Koepka sent back a picture of his four major championship trophies and said he was two short of a six-pack.
At the PGA Championship this year, Koepka was in the middle of an interview with the Golf Channel when DeChambeau walked behind him, talking the entire time. Koepka first rolled his eyes, then closed his eyes and lost his train of thought. The disdain he has for DeChambeau was clear.
The two did manage to stay cordial when playing on the winning U.S. side during the Ryder Cup.
There were no reports that Brooks and Bryson were hanging out together, but there also were not reports that the two were fighting. In fact, at the end of the week during the U.S. team’s press conference, Xander Schauffele even got Brooks and Bryson to hug, although it did not seem like there was a lot of love there still.
As for the particulars, DeChambeau and Koepka will meet on Nov. 26 at the Wynn in Las Vegas. The combatants will play 12 holes.
If you’re looking for some entertainment on Thanksgiving weekend, this might be worth your time. Just seeing the dynamic between the two will be very interesting. And, who knows, there could also be fireworks at some point.
