Brooks Koepka's rubbed salts in the wounds of Brandel Chamblee, one of his biggest critics, on social media following an announcement that the PGA Tour, LIV and DP World Tour are unifying.

'Welfare Check on Chamblee,' tweeted the 33-year-old, who recently became the first LIV player to win a PGA event by claiming victory at the PGA Championship.

Chamblee, who's a former PGA Tour pro, has previously criticised Saudi Arabia's foreign investment fund, also known as PIF, for backing LIV Golf. 

He's also regularly questioned several players' love for the game, including Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed and Bryson DeChambeau after they took large payouts to join the rebel circuit and accused the former members of the PGA Tour of helping Saudi Arabia with its 'sports washing' strategy. 

Last year, Chamblee and the Golf Channel were slapped with a $750million lawsuit, filed by Reed, with the 2018 Masters winner alleging that the 60-year-old 'calculated, malicious' comments on air that have 'had a direct effect on his livelihood.'
