That time Brooks Koepka talked smack to Michael Jordan and lost
- Updated: May 10, 2020
Brooks Koepka learned a valuable lesson playing golf with Michael Jordan: don’t piss off the GOAT!
“I was 1-up going to 17 tee. We’d been jawing all day and we have like a 40-yard walk back to the 17th tee and he hasn’t said much the last couple of holes,” Koepka told Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter. “I said something like, ‘I’ve got you right where I want you.’”
In typical Jordan fashion, he responded with ice in his veins. “He just tees the ball up, takes his practice swing and looks at me. ‘It’s the fourth quarter, baby, I don’t lose,’” Koepka recalled.
According to Koepka, Jordan won the 17th and 18th holes to win the match.
“It’s probably the last time I’ve smack talked him,” Koepka said with a laugh. “I have not played him since, but hopefully we’ll tee it up again soon.”
Brooks is a pro golfer. He lost a golf match to a basketball player. That’s insane. Confidence and belief in yourself go a long way, especially on a golf course.
