Masters Showdown: Odd Irons or Even? Koepka's Guess on McIlroy's Quirky Warmup!
Golf titans Brooks Koepka and Rory McIlroy are teeing off for that coveted green jacket at the Masters, and the hype is real. Last year, Koepka hailed as runner-up, eyeing that top spot this go-around. Meanwhile, McIlroy's second-place whisper at Augusta in 2022 is still fresh. With the 2024 opening rounds just a heartbeat away, Koepka spilled some tee-time tea on the 'Pardon My Take' podcast.
Koepka's quirky reveal? He's all about those odd-numbered irons—throwing in his driver, woods, and wedges for a good measure when he's firing up the range. But, wait for the zinger—Koepka's betting that McIlroy fancies those evens. After all, "four is even," and with Rory bagging four major titles to Koepka's five, could this be a subtly fiery foresight?
Driving the Point Home
Last year's Masters had Jon Rahm grinning in green, but Koepka's no stranger to the runner-up limelight—2019 saw him just shy of the win too. Off the fairway, Koepka's joined the much-talked-about LIV Golf ranks, making waves and headlines. McIlroy, sticking to his PGA Tour roots, flip-flopped a bit, once telling LIV defectors to keep their swings away from PGA, only to later suggest a kumbaya get-together for the 'good of the game.'
McIlroy's stance now? 'Come on back if you got the eligibility. Forget the feud, let's drive unity for golf.' Is this the prelude to the ultimate showdown of golf titans reuniting on the green? Fans are all ears for the tee-off chatter on this one.
Golf Rivals' Masters Showdown Heats Up!
Brooks Koepka left tongues wagging on "Pardon My Take," playfully jabbing at Rory McIlroy's warmup routine ahead of the Masters. Touting his preference for odd-numbered irons, Koepka couldn't help but speculate that McIlroy, a man with four major titles, might just swing towards the even numbers. Talk about friendly fire!

Koepka made waves by joining the LIV Golf league, while McIlroy stood firm with the PGA Tour. McIlroy's stance might be softening, though, as he shared his recent change of heart about the LIV defectors. Will this mean thawing ties and a stronger golf game for all?
