After winning impressively at the PGA Championship Sunday, Brooks Koepka has garnered a lot of attention, putting himself on the map of the sporting world. But people are not just looking at his swing. They're also unearthing Koepka's old tweets aimed at Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.
Koepka, a Floridian, apparently didn't like James' decision suit up for the Miami Heat back in 2010. James moved to the Heat in his quest to win his first ring. Koepka was aware of James' antics and was not too keen on it.
After the Heat lost in the 2011 NBA Finals, Koepka blasted James in a series of tweets.

Koepka even used James to lash out on Justin Thomas â of one his rivals in golf.

However, his feelings for James eventually changed when the latter won a ring. Wonder what happened along the way that his feelings transformed from utter disgust to pure admiration?
Lebron played one of the best games I've ever seen!!

One has to wonder how Koepka feels now towards James and his decision to play for the Lakers. Does he approve of it? Or is he back at hating James and his chase for another title? Don't be surprised too if these tweets get deleted despite the world already being reminded of them.
