The men’s professional golf world got turned upside down Tuesday morning when the PGA Tour, DP World Tour, and LIV Golf announced they will be merging together to unify the three tours in a move that left just about everyone in complete shock. 

A number of golfers found different ways to react to the news. Phil Mickelson was very happy to hear it. Collin Morikawa was stunned, but had a good golf joke about it. 

Brooks Koepka, meanwhile, took a shot at Golf Channel’s Brandel Chamblee, who has blasted LIV Golf since the league came into existence. He hasn’t backed down from his opinions about the moral issues surrounding players leaving the PGA for the Saudi-funded league. 

Here’s Koepka’s tweet: 

It's going to be interesting to see how all of this plays out going forward. Right now, it seems like a total mess.
