Brooks Koepka drew plaudits from golf fans over he handled a question from Barstool Sports about Tiger Woods’ 2009 cheating scandal.
Brooks Koepka was heralded as ‘a great sport’ by golf fans on X after he was involved in an hilarious interview with Barstool Sports’ Caleb Pressley.
In case you’re not in the know, Pressley is an American blogger and podcaster.
He regularly interviews professional sports stars and celebrities for his YouTube channel Sundae Conversation.
Pressley’s latest ‘victim’ was five-time major champion Koepka who, for the most part, managed to get through the three-minute Q&A keeping a straight face.
The first question involved Tiger Woods. “He’s a good dude,” Koepka, 33, said when asked if he has ever met him.
Then Pressley asked: “Did you tell him when you met him that when he was going through the hardest part of his life when he was doing all of that stuff with the waitresses that you and your friends were probably laughing and making some funny jokes about him?”
Pressley was referring to the time Woods, now 48, was exposed as a serial cheater in 2009.
Woods’ ex-wife Elin Nordegren chased him out of the house with a golf club after learning he’d been unfaithful.
The legendary golfer had hopped into his 2009 Escalade to get away from a furious Nordegren and he ended up crashing into some hedges and hitting a fire hydrant before smashing into a tree.
Woods, who had taken Vicodin, was knocked out for six minutes and when cops arrived he was drifting in and out of consciousness with cuts to his lips.
It marked the beginning of Woods’ dramatic fall from grace.
Koepka had three words for Pressley’s question: “No, I did not.”
Then he was caught out by a zinger.
Pressley asked: “Why aren’t there more brothers on Tour?”
“We’ve got Harold Varner,” Koepka replied, referencing his LIV Golf teammate.
Pressley said: “Isn’t your brother on Tour? Oh you were talking about … okay, sorry, my bad I misunderstood what we were talking about. We can cut that. We won’t.”
