The US Open 2023 is the first major tournament since the news of the merger between the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf broke. After the announcement, a lot of tension between golfers from both sides seems to have been released, including Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka.
A video of McIlroy and Koepka, who was sitting in his car, sharing a fist bump in the parking of the Los Angeles Country Club was shared by Sky Sports Golf's Twitter handle.
"I'm kind of a big deal," McIlroy said as the two started laughing.
