It wasn't the best two-day stretch of golf for Brooks Koepka at Quail Hollow and a fan at the PGA Championship didn't hesitate to let him know about it.

The LIV Golf star shot 9-over par and missed the cut in Charlotte after a pair of tough rounds — leading to a spectator calling him out for taking the money from the Saudi-backed league back in 2022.

"Guaranteed money does that, Brooks," the heckler said, referring to the $100+ million deal he signed to leave the PGA.

"You wanna come down here and say it?" Koepka repeated twice before saying something inaudible.

Fans reacted to Koepka having time on social media.

"Love to see Brooks put him in his place," a user said.

"That dude got quiet really fast lol….." another commented.

"Good on the heckler. Apparently LIV and their supporting clowns can say whatever THEY want, but can't take any criticism," a PGA fan replied.

"LIV golfers a little sensitive! Don't do that Koepka be proud of the blood money you took! Be proud you tried to destroy a sports tour. My golf game is horrible too right now so I do know how that feels!" another person exclaimed.

"Brooks is the fakest tough guy ever," another user posted.

"Nothing better than a player giving it back and a fan absolutely [expletiving] it."

Koepka scored a brutal six bogeys and a double-bogey in his round of 76 — so the last thing he probably wanted to hear was some fan mouthing off to him.

This week's performance was the latest in a recent series of less-than-stellar major appearances for the 35-year-old veteran.

He'll attempt to bounce back the next time he takes the course with the rest of the LIV roster.
