But well before LIV Golf arrived in tiny North Plains, the city's mayor and those from surrounding cities wrote the Texas-based owner of the club to protest the event, saying it didn't align with the community's values.

It's been brought up,” said Koepka, a former world No. 1 and four-time majors champion. “But look, like we said, our only job is to go play golf, and that's what we're trying to do. We're trying to grow the game.”
