Matthew Wolff has responded to the stinging criticism from Brooks Koepka on the eve of LIV Golf London, describing the remarks as 'beyond disappointing'.
Matthew Wolff says Brooks Koepka's scathing criticism of the 24-year-old golfer on the eve of LIV Golf London was 'heartbreaking'.
Koepka absolutely unloaded on Wolff hours before the players were due to tee off at Centurion Club in Hemel Hempstead.
According to Koepka, he has 'given up' on Wolff, accusing the American of 'giving up' during tournament rounds and having a poor attitude.

The 2023 PGA Championship winner claimed Wolff was 'a wasted talent'.
"I've basically given up on him," Koepka told SI. "A lot of talent, but I mean the talent's wasted."
Wolff has now responded, telling the Guardian's Ewan Murray the comments were 'beyond disappointing'.
In his response, Wolff alluded to struggles with his own mental health that has been well documented in recent years.
Wolff's rise on the PGA Tour was meteoric. He claimed the 2019 3M Open in what was only his third start.
But the story for Wolff, like so many, has been familiar. He struggled immensely for form and ultimately bolted for LIV Golf in 2022.
He told the Guardian:
