Hey there, golf fans. It feels like we are in the middle of a new golf beef at the PGA Championship and I gotta say – I’m here for all of this.
And you know what’s crazy? Bryson DeChambeau, the current villain of the PGA Tour, isn’t even involved!
Brooks Koepka, the dude who seems to only win major championships, took a shot at Dustin Johnson after Saturday’s final round, saying the leader of the tournament has only won one major. Koepka loves a good troll and this was an obvious one, as he was implying that DJ and others haven’t done what he has done and shouldn’t be considered favorites because of that.
Then on Sunday, Rory McIlroy jumped in on the beef after playing his final round, saying DJ has 21 wins, which are much more than Koepka’s win total:
Rory on what Brooks had to say about DJ and his one major: "sort of hard to knock a guy that's got 21 wins on the PGA Tour, which is three times what Brooks has."
Sorry. That should be PGA TOUR.

Rory McIlroy from out of ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE! McIlroy and Koepka, however, have had some issues in the past so it’s not crazy to see Rory weigh in here.
Now I just need DeChambeau to run into this while double-fisting protein shakes and yelling for challenger match against a PGA Tour official and this golf beef will be the thing of dreams.
But seriously, I love all of this trash talk on the PGA Tour and I want more it every week.
For now, though, this final round of the PGA Championship is pretty darn great.
