PGA Tour pro ruffles feathers after blasting Brooks Koepka's LIV Golf Jeddah win

PGA Tour player Joel Dahmen has taken aim at Brooks Koepka's victory at LIV Golf Jeddah

Dahmen has previously blasted LIV Golf players over them wanting to come back and play on the PGA Tour. 

He also recently took a swipe at Bryson DeChambeau. 

After a frustrating season for Koepka, the LIV Golf star clinched an emotional victory with a birdie on the third playoff hole against fellow Smash GC member Peter Uihlein. 

Smash GC also took team honours, as Koepka walked away with a cheque for $4.75 million

Dahmen, a one-time winner on the PGA Tour, certainly ruffled plenty of feathers with his tweet following Koepka's latest win. 

"If a players [sic] wins a golf tournament in a forest and no one sees it, does it count?" tweeted Dahmen on Monday morning. 

Some golf fans were loving Dahmen's choice of words, while others were questioning how a one-time PGA Tour winner could even have the audacity to criticise a tournament won by a four-time major champion. 

The viewing figures from YouTube did not paint a great picture, especially in round one

Things improved slightly over the weekend, but despite an exciting finish that unfolded between Smash GC members Koepka and Uihlein, it is fair to say the majority of golf fans saw LIV Golf Jeddah as something of a turn off. 

LIV Golf now has a week off in the schedule before heading into its season-ending LIV Golf Team Championship in Miami.
