Brooks Koepka Getting Emotional And Talking About Loving Golf Again After His First Round Back Is Why The PGA Tour Is Better With Him

You think guys are going to cry when they play on LIV for the first time? No, you cry when that first paycheck hits the deposit and then you forget about golf. You don't get this from playing some random course in Tulsa, Oklahoma or wherever in the world they are going next. It's about coming to the PGA Tour, playing with guys that we all know and trying to fix the mistake of taking the money and less golf. 

It wasn't a pretty round by any means. I know he was stuck on the South Course, but you gotta have a better start than +1

Should have had the birdie putt on 1 go in. Missed some approaches, but he did give us this legend

Incredible toss. But this is about Brooks. This is about the fact that the Tour is better with him on it. Don't believe me? There's a reason that we're getting his round on ESPN and not just streaming. People care when big names are playing. Say what you want about his game, he's a big name. That's a win right there for the PGA alone. You see him getting emotional, almost this new version of him, another Blake of the Year candidate, and people are going to be invested.

Speaking of which, we already have Patrick Reed Ryder Cup talk: 

Love it. I want everyone to come back and play like it's a major. That would be ideal. But for Brooks, he's the first name we needed to come back. He's the one that can start a bit of a domino effect. Hearing him talk about falling in love with the game again? Yeah, that's the next motto for the PGA Tour. Come on back, you'll love playing golf again.
