Brooks Koepka appeared to take an unsubtle dig at Bryson DeChambeau<\/a> after his once bitter foe made a questionable decision during the LIV Golf<\/a> Team Championship.<\/p>\n Over the years, Koepka and DeChambeau did little to hide their disdain for each other as their rivalry blossomed into one of the most notorious<\/a> of the modern era.<\/p>\n The American stars seemed to have buried the hatchet<\/a>, however, upon defecting to LIV Golf together and teaming up at the Ryder Cup. Though Koepka<\/a> and DeChambeau have let bygones be bygones, that hasn\u2019t stopped them from taking playful jabs at one another.<\/p>\n On Saturday, DeChambeau\u2019s Crushers GC faced off against Koepka\u2019s Smash GC at LIV Michigan \u2014 setting the stage for a potential head-to-head clash at the Cardinal at St. John\u2019s.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Browns complete QB trade with Tom Brady that speaks volumes about Shedeur Sanders<\/a>READ MORE: Deion Sanders’ advice to sons speaks volumes after Shedeur and Shilo’s rollercoaster offseason<\/a><\/p>\n Yet DeChambeau had other plans, opting to use Anirban Lahiri first against Koepka rather than himself. The 31-year-old, meanwhile, took on Talor Gooch second.<\/p>\n Koepka, for one, hardly understood his opponent\u2019s decision. “I don\u2019t know what the thinking was behind that,” he conceded.<\/p>\n “I\u2019d probably say the people would want to see that. I don\u2019t know what he was afraid of. I don\u2019t know. He beats to his own drum. He\u2019s a strange cat.”<\/p>\n When asked why he didn\u2019t choose to go up against Koepka, DeChambeau replied: “I\u2019ve got my reasons.”<\/p>\n Despite their recent coaching disagreement, Koepka asserted last December that there\u2019s no bad blood between him and DeChambeau. \u201cWe\u2019ve come a long way,\u201d he acknowledged at the time.<\/p>\n “Going to LIV, honestly, I think that was a big moment for us, right? We were forced \u2014 well, I don\u2019t want to say forced \u2014 but we were communicating a lot more, our conversation became a lot more open. From there, I\u2019m the first person to admit I can be a bit stubborn.<\/p>\n \u201cWe all get older, we all mature a little bit, and then you realize, ‘Hey, Bryson\u2019s a good dude.\u2019 I think he\u2019s severely misunderstood, and I think the world is starting to see who Bryson DeChambeau is, which is cool.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019m the first person to admit it: I was wrong with what my original thoughts were.”<\/p>\n DeChambeau expressed a similar sentiment while pinpointing the exact moment that he and Koepka mutually agreed to end their feud. “At the Ryder Cup we squashed a lot of what was going on,\u201d he explained while making an appearance on the \u2018Pat McAfee Show\u2019 in 2023.<\/p>\n \u201cWe realised we were going to play for our country, and not for our own personal advantage or what not. There was beef back in the day and I think as time has gone on and we have got older, especially going to LIV, we realized that we were all in this together and we got to figure out a way to make it make sense for everyone.”<\/p>\n Unfortunately for Koepka and DeChambeau, it doesn\u2019t look as though they\u2019ll be able to once again team up at this year\u2019s Ryder Cup<\/a>.<\/p>\n![\"Bryson](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0_GettyImages-1491817480.jpg\")
