NORTH PLAINS, Ore. -- Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka said Tuesday that he didn't agree to join the LIV Golf Invitational Series until after playing in the U.S. Open two weeks ago.
Koepka, speaking at a news conference before the first LIV Golf tournament in the United States, which starts Thursday at Pumpkin Ridge outside Portland, Oregon, said he wanted more time to physically recover by playing in fewer events.
Koepka had previously pledged his loyalty to the PGA Tour. He said in February that "somebody will sell out and go for it," when asked about the Saudi Arabian-financed LIV Golf circuit.
