Brooks Koepka is also said to be about to leave the PGA to join the LIV Golf Series.
According to Telegraphthe four-time major winner will join his brother, Chase, and several other high-profile golfers, including former rival Byrson DeChambeau, on the Saudi-backed circuit.
The move comes less than a week after Koepka slammed reporters for talking about the LIV circuit ahead of the US Open, saying it cast a “dark cloud” over the year’s third major.
“I’m here at the US Open,” Koepka said. “I’m ready to play the US Open, and I think it kinda sucks, too, that y’all are throwing that dark cloud over the US Open. It’s one of my favorite events. I don’t know why you keep doing this. The more legs you give to [la Série LIV], the more you keep talking about it. »
When Koepka was asked if there was a monetary amount that would entice him to upgrade to Series LIV, he replied that he hadn’t “thought much” about it. the Telegraph reports that Koepka would receive a seven-figure guarantee by joining the new circuit.
