Brooks Koepka was well aware of the $US4 million ($A6.3 million) first-place prize he’d just won. After all, it wasn’t his first LIV Golf rodeo in Jeddah having won the event last year. But his latest victory also earned him an additional $US4 million in bonus money. And apparently he had no clue.
Koepka’s win propelled him to third place in the season-long standings that were topped by Talor Gooch. And although the five-time major champion didn’t receive the $US18 million prize for first, $US4 million is a nice little parting gift.

Anyway, here was Koepka’s priceless reaction when informed about the bonus during his post-round interview on live TV. Or live streaming. Or whatever the kids are calling it these days. You get the point. Koepka didn’t have a clue—not that he wasn’t happy to be informed about his latest haul.

“I did? Oh. Sweet, that’s a good feeling, that’s a good feeling,” Koepka says in the clip. “I’m rich, thanks for breaking that news.”
Must be nice, huh? Congrats to Koepka. We’d make a new-dad “nappies are expensive” joke, but at this rate, Brooks could buy his own Huggies factory.
