'Classless' And 'Uncalled For' DeChambeau And Koepka Booed By Fans At PGA Championship

Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka received loud 'boos' on the 1st tee at Oak Hill as they got their third rounds underway at the PGA Championship.

DeChambeau went up first and received a very frosty reception from the onlooking New York fans, with Koepka also getting loud 'boos' from the spectators around the tee as he stepped up.

The duo both joined LIV Golf last year for fees reported to be north of $100m, with the tour they play on thought to be why they received the boos. The fans' behaviour certainly didn't go down well on commentary or on social media.

"Most strange, completely uncalled for," Ewen Murray said on Sky Sports, later calling it an "unsavoury two minutes."

He then tweeted: "We were quite surprised at that. Many would be. Two fine players and thoroughly decent men."

The 2002 PGA Champion Rich Beem, also on commentary with Sky Sports, said he "could not agree more" and that "they're booing the guys because they're no longer part of the PGA Tour, but you're booing a couple of Major champions that have done it their way."

Social media was also critical of the fans' reactions, with Ron Mintz calling the boos "classless" and "uncalled for."

Jim Nantz reportedly described it as "not a warm welcome" and said he hadn't heard any boos since last summer when LIV Golf started.
