Brooks Koepka Smashes Driver, Destroys Tee Box Marker, Then Withdraws from LIV Golf Dallas

Brooks Koepka’s frustration boiled over at the LIV Golf Dallas, leading to a dramatic smashing of his driver and destruction of a tee box marker, followed by his withdrawal from the event.

Brooks Koepka Smashes Driver, Destroys Tee Box Marker, Then Withdraws from LIV Golf Dallas

On June 27, 2025, during the first round of the LIV Golf Dallas, Brooks Koepka’s frustration reached a boiling point. The five-time Major winner smashed his driver into the ground repeatedly, destroying a tee box marker in the process. This outburst not only caused a stir but also potentially triggered a rules violation.

This incident is reminiscent of Rory McIlroy’s club throw during the U.S. Open 2024 and the recent outburst by Stephan Jäger at the Rocket Classic. Apparently to avoid further consequences, Koepka voluntarily withdrew from the round, but his inconsistent results in a row indicate high dissatisfaction.
