There is absolutely a chance this whole Brooks Koepka–Bryson DeChambeau thing is one big elaborate troll, one that can only end with the two shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries on the first tee of a made-for-TV exhibition match. But not today, not on this Rocket Mortgage Classic opening day, when news broke of Bryson splitting with long-time caddie Tim Tucker on the eve of a tournament the Mad Scientist was preparing to defend.
Today, the Brooks-Bryson hatred is still very, very real, at least on Koepka’s end. After catching wind of the breakup, the four-time Major champ took to Twitter and went full Tom Petty on DeChambeau, hitting send on a troll job tweet to end all troll job tweets. THIS TOUR!!!
Even the few and the proud Bryson fans left, or just Koepka haters, couldn’t help but crack a smile at this one. We are talking less than one hour from the news officially breaking to this tweet being sent. And let’s be honest, it was probably ready to roll way before that. Brooksy can’t stop, won’t stop feeding this saga that refuses to die.
What’s that, you ask? Is there more? Oh yes… there is most certainly more:
Given how many silly “days” there already are these days, we’re actually surprised Caddie Appreciation Day didn’t exist already, and that it was not a caddie that came up with it. Brooksy continues to be one of the game’s great trailblazers.
