Brooks Koepka responds after being accused of purposely getting put on clock at LIV Golf Michigan
Slow play has plagued the PGA Tour for much of the 2025 season. But when it comes to LIIV Golf, their 54hole format in Shotgun Start has helped them avoid such issues. It doesn’t matter what tour you play golf on, the issue of slow play continues to be a dominant subject to talk about and it’s now reared its head on the LIIV golf tour. Nevertheless, that doesn’t mean that the issue is completely missing on LIV. Indeed, during the semi-final matchup between Brooks Kepka and Aner Bunlihiri, Kepka was put on the clock by officials as he sought to make his way around the course. However, in typical Keepka fashion, the five-time major winner had his own take on proceedings. Brooks Kepka is very much one of the more confident players in the golf world, and he’s never afraid to meet things head-on. In a bizarre turn of events in the media room, Kepka was effectively accused of getting his team put on the clock on purpose as they faced off against the four aces in the quarters. However, Kepka stood his ground and instead suggested it was nothing to do with making any sort of statement. “No, it didn’t have anything to do with that,” Kepka replied when asked if it was to do with the draw his team got yesterday. It just had to do with I felt like I could get more holes in at my pace than I could if we got on the clock early. I think it took us five holes. It wasn’t long, but I felt like we could play the rest of the holes at my pace, and I felt like I did. Keep admitted. I didn’t putt great. Hit the ball fine. Plenty good enough. Yeah, it was a good match.
