PGA boss reveals what he said to Brooks Koepka in viral moment: "He cracked up!"
Seth Waugh has revealed what was said to Brooks Koepka.
Not too soon after Brooks Koepka claimed the PGA Championship, there was a moment that left the LIV Golf player somewhat befuddled.
It involved Koepka standing alongside the Wanamaker and posing for pictures at Oak Hill with PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh.
Golf fans were quick to speculate what was said between the pair as Koepka cracked up and Waugh quickly dashed out of frame.
Did Waugh say something funny about the breakaway tour? Something pointed about the Saudi-backed league? What was the wisecrack?
Well, now we have some clarity as Waugh - who has been fairly critical of LIV Golf and sits in the awkward position of being a board member of the Official World Golf Ranking - has told Golf Channel exactly what made Koepka laugh so heartedly.
Remind yourself of the moment here:

There was a reason why golf fans were quick to speculate what was said.
Speaking to The Times before the major, he questioned the future of LIV Golf and their business model.
Still, Waugh confirmed he was happy for Koepka after the 33-year-old held off Viktor Hovland to claim his fifth major in New York.
"It couldn't be sillier or further from the truth and everybody is trying to make it into this LIV thing which it's got nothing to do with," Waugh added.
If you haven't caught up yet, Koepka is on an epic victory tour.
He egged on an NHL star to chug beer out of the Wanamaker not too soon after he was pictured in this crazy state at a Florida Panthers game.
Koepka was also pictured courtside at a Miami Heat game with his glamorous wife Jena Sims.

The partying will have to stop soon, though, as the golfer heads to his next event: LIV Golf Washington.
