Brooks Koepka gives the internet a hilarious video as he reads off things golf fans say about him on social media.

LIV Golf’s Smash GC posted a video of their captain, Brooks Koepka, reading mean tweets, which showed golf fans a side of him that many rarely see. Many know the LIV Golf captain to have a serious demeanor, but Koepka has a fun side, too.

The short video saw him read a series of tweets that even caused him to laugh audibly.

One of the tweets that made him chuckle the hardest was, “Suck it in, fat boy.”

Koepka could not control his laughter with that one and responded with a dig about himself.

“I’ve been trying, bro. I got the dad bod going. I’m not worried about it anymore.”

The final tweet threw a cheap shot at Patrick Reed as Twitter user Red Tsunami said, “The worst human in professional golf. Even worse than Patrick Reed.”

However, Koepka came to his fellow LIV player’s aide.

“That’s actually kind of funny. Patrick Reed is a good dude, too,” Koepka said as he laughed.

Most tweets were off the wall and completely out of context, making it even funnier.

Reading mean tweets is a trend that has been around for a long time, beginning on Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show in 2012 for Twitter’s sixth anniversary.

Celebrities and athletes would read what people said about them on X, formerly known as Twitter. It is rare for a trend to last this long, but there is something hilarious about seeing famous people read what everyday people say about them.

Hopefully, this video is one of many parts that will give us a look into Koepka’s personality and what people say about golfers on the internet. It may even spark the other LIV Golf teams to create “Reading Mean Tweets” content.
