LIV Golf’s Smash GC posted a video of captain Brooks Koepka reading some nasty tweets, showing a side of him that golf fans rarely see. While many know the LIV Golf captain to have a serious attitude, Koepka also has a fun side.
of Short video There were moments where I laughed out loud as I watched him read the series of tweets.
One of the tweets that made him laugh the most was, “Hold on, fatty.”
Koepka couldn’t help but laugh and responded with some self-deprecating remarks.
“I’ve been working hard, bro. I’ve got a daddy body. I’m not worried anymore.”
The final tweet was a vile attack on Patrick Reed, with Twitter user Red Tsunami commenting: “The worst person in professional golf. Even worse than Patrick Reed.”
But Koepka helped out his fellow LIV player.
“That’s kind of funny, actually. Patrick Reed’s a good guy, too,” Koepka said with a laugh.
Most of the tweets were outlandish and completely out of context, which made them even funnier.
Reading mean tweets is a long-running trend that began on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in 2012 to celebrate Twitter’s sixth anniversary.
Celebrities and athletes were reading what people were saying about them on X (formerly Twitter). It’s rare to see a trend last this long, but it’s pretty funny to see celebrities reading what regular people are saying about them.
We hope this video will be one of many insights into Koepka’s personality and what people are saying about the golfer on the internet, and maybe it will inspire other LIV golf teams to create more “Read the Mean Tweets” content.
