Brooks Koepka trolls Spanish rivals Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia by turning up in an ENGLAND shirt to play against them at LIV Golf Andalucia
Brooks Koepka showed his colours for Euro 2024 by appearing in an England shirt on Sunday in his starting line-up alongside Spaniards Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia.
The 1:05pm start time at LIV Golf Andalucia was very Spanish, with two Spanish players and a very partisan crowd cheering them on, just hours before the national football team took on England in Berlin.
Koepka looked set to cause a stir and made a hilarious appearance at the first hole in a retro England shirt, much to the surprise of both his rivals and the entire crowd.
The American goes straight for Garcia, who is himself wearing a Spanish football shirt, and the two laugh at each other before Rahm joins in.
In the background, the crowd can be heard loudly booing Koepka, then chanting “Viva Espana” at him before he turns.

Rahm and Garcia in particular want to complete their 18 holes as quickly as possible on Sunday, before they go to Berlin to watch the big match in which England and Spain will compete for the cup.
Spain have been the best team in the tournament so far, but Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions will be looking to end the drought and claim their first major trophy since 1966.
During the LIV Andalucia event, Garcia’s Firebolts finished in second place in the leaderboard, while Rahm’s Legion XIII finished in tenth place and Koepka’s Smash GC in eleventh place.
