Koepka suggested that Wolff doesn’t work hard enough.
«I’m not a big fan of that. You don’t work hard. It’s very difficult. It’s very difficult to even have a team dynamic when you have a guy who won’t work to put in any effort, he’s going to give up on the field, he breaks sticks, gets discouraged, bad body language. It’s very difficult. I’ve basically given up on him, a lot of talent, but I mean the talent is wasted.»

«I’m here, you know, trying to do what I can to play the best round of golf and that will help the team,» Wolff told Sports Illustrated. «I’m just here to focus on myself and try to play good golf. And that’s what everybody’s really trying to do because golf is trying to get the best score. And so if that helps your team, it’s great». «
