Brooks Koepka has three-word response to Justin Thomas after Shipnuck book claim
Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas hit back after seeing latest quotes appear in Alan Shipnuck's new book.
Brooks Koepka and Justin Thomas have hit back at golf biographer Alan Shipnuck claiming all of the world's best players are "sick" of him.
Shipnuck is of course the golf writer who revealed Phil Mickelson's incredible claims about the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia following the emergence of LIV Golf in the early stages of 2022.
But in a stunning new extract from his new book 'LIV and Let Die' over the weekend, Shipnuck has revealed a number of fascinating details to allegedly have emerged in the world of golf over the past 18 months.
Here's a few of them:
- How Tiger Woods blocked Phil Mickelson from attending the Open Champions Dinner at St Andrews
- The time Paul Casey ripped into a Sky Sports reporter at The Open
- The true figure Patrick Cantlay turned down to join LIV Golf
In another eye-catching story from Shipbuck's new book, he divulges a time when Koepka let slip his signing-on fee to join LIV Golf while ripping into the likes of Spieth and Thomas in the process.
Koepka confirmed the fee was $130m.
This is what Koepka allegedly said about Thomas and Spieth when he moved to LIV Golf last summer, per Shipnuck.
But since reading Shipnuck's latest claims, both Thomas and Koepka have ripped into Shipnuck themselves.
Thomas took direct aim at Shipnuck after reading one extract about how an "anonymous former Ryder Cup team-mate of Rory McIlroy" reportedly told him"f*** Rory, I'm so sick of hearing how he's some kind of hero who is saving golf."
You can read that full extract below, along with the responses of Thomas and Koepka:
I’d like to speak on behalf of a lot of Tour players and say we’re sick of @AlanShipnuck doing what he does. Bring positivity and good stories to help grow the game of golf, not try and make money bashing guys, earning zero trust, with a lot of incorrect information. Ridiculous
