Koepka did not hold back in criticising his teammate ahead of the opening round on Friday, claiming he had all but 'given up' on Wolff, while also labelling him a 'wasted talent'. The Smash GC captain alluded to the fact the former PGA Tour star had withdrawn from LIV's recent event in Washington ahead of the final round. Koepka told Sports Illustrated: "I mean, when you quit on your round, you give up and stuff like that, that's not competing I'm not a big fan of that. You don't work hard. It's very tough. "It's very tough to have even like a team dynamic when you've got one guy that won't work, one guy is not going to give any effort, he's going to quit on the course, break clubs, gets down, bad body language, it's very tough. I've basically given up on him—a lot of talent, but I mean the talent's wasted.' The six-time major champion's brutal comments came at a surprising time, with his team just 24 hours away from teeing off in the first round at Centurion.

"I read the SI [Sports Illustrated] interview with our Captain Brooks Koepka and it was beyond disappointing to me," he told Sports Illustrated. "When I chose to join his Team in 2023, I did so with much optimism about my new home as part of Team Smash and equally as important the chance to be around and learn from a player of Brooks's stature.
