Brooks Koepka and Matthew Wolff both play for the Smash GC team in LIV Golf. Koepka is the team captain, but he seems to be at odds with Wolff.

Wolff recently had a forgettable performance during a golf tournament in Spain, which marked the fifth straight time he had a disappointing showing. 

In May, he withdrew from an event outside Washington, D.C., where he was two spots outside last place following 36 holes.

"I mean, when you quit on your round, you give up and stuff like that, that's not competing," Koepka told Sports Illustrated.

Koepka suggested that Wolff does not work hard enough.

One guy is not going to give any effort, he’s going to quit on the course, break clubs, gets down, bad body language. It's very tough. I've basically given up on him — a lot of talent, but I mean the talent's wasted."
