Brooks Koepka announces shock split ahead of 2025 LIV Golf League season
Brooks Koepka has split with his long-time golf coach Claude Harmon III ahead of the 2025 LIV Golf League season, according to Golfweek.
Koepka, 34, confirmed the update via a text message to Golfweek on Friday.
“Pete Cowen and Jeff Pierce will be handling everything golf-related,” Koepka told the publication.
Despite parting ways with Harmon III this season, Koepka should still be in safe hands given Cowen and Pierce know his game well.
That’s because they are both long-standing members of his team.
Cowen has worked tirelessly on Koepka’s short game through the years, while Pierce has helped Koepka out on the greens.
