If you are seeking a straightforward odds or value play, DeChambeau is likely your best choice.

However, we can’t blame you for following your heart and choosing Koepka if he’s your preferred choice.

About the DeChambeau vs. Koepka rivalry

Despite their long-standing animosity, the PGA standouts’ rivalry has recently gained widespread attention in the mainstream media.

Koepka’s eye-roll for the ages was triggered by the mere presence of DeChambeau, thanks to a video that was recently leaked.

And just like that, one of golf’s most petty, yet undeniably uproarious, rivalries was reignited.

Golf.com offers a concise overview of the feud’s historical background.

The animosity between Koepka and DeChambeau has been ongoing since January 2019, with a constant exchange of insults. Koepka has expressed disapproval of DeChambeau’s slow pace of play, while DeChambeau has criticized Koepka’s physique. Koepka has flaunted his collection of trophies, while DeChambeau has confronted him in person. Additionally, Koepka has mocked DeChambeau’s requests for a ruling, among other incidents. However, Koepka’s recent behavior has taken their feud to a new level. It felt genuine, sincere, and significant, potentially indicating a significant moment for these two players who have been both past and future teammates in the Ryder Cup.

Certainly, it is undeniable that there are genuine grievances between them. They truly and wholeheartedly detest one another. However, as Koepka himself acknowledged, these conflicts have a positive impact on the sport and help generate interest among new audiences.
