Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau Have a Beef. Or Do They?

Some research, however, has revealed a distinct Koepka opinion on cacophonous golf cleats, expressed during an appearance on a Barstool Sports podcast, “Pardon My Take,” in 2019.

Koepka was asked why he wears cleats.

“I don’t wear spikes,” he said, adding: “Guys wear metal ones, I have no idea why. I think it’s just to give the click-clack when they’re walking over concrete.”

It was suggested to Koepka that golfers do that simply to seem athletic.

“Exactly, I don’t think you’re far off there at all,” Koepka responded.

Aha! So Koepka was doing a national television interview, and along came his nemesis click-clacking in the background, trying to appear athletic.

Whatever the genesis of the video, it — to borrow a golf term — reverberated like a shank. It became a meme for any subject, sports or otherwise.

On Monday, DeChambeau hit the gym with a flex of his own.
