Most players have come out in support of Brooks Koepka joining the U.S. Ryder Cup Team, but not everyone is happy about the idea of selecting a LIV Golfer to the team. In this episode of The Golf Podcast we break down Ryder Cup Captain Zach Johnson's selection of Brooks Koepka for the 2023 Ryder Cup Team, including diving into some other player reactions and identifying a few individuals who don't believe Brooks is a good addition to the team. We'll also discuss whether or not Brooks Koepka should have been the only LIV Golfer to be selected for the Ryder Cup, and decide if guys like Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Patrick Reed should have been left behind as the US Ryder Cup team heads to Rome. Needless to say, both players and fans have been quite vocal in their reactions to some of Zach Johnson's Ryder Cup Captain's Picks and we're here to uncover all of it. https://youtu.be/aecvlv-mMV4 Listen to This Week's Show Download on iTunes here Download on Stitcher here Download on Spreaker here Download on SoundCloud here Listen on Spotify here Links from this Week's Show Get the Golficity App: Download the Free Golficity App Here Join our Private Community on Levellr: Register Your Spot Here Thanks to this Week's Sponsors Titleist is committed to ensuring that every golf ball delivers superior quality and consistency.
