Watch: LIV Golf Arrives Stateside with a Confrontational Brooks Koepka

LIV Golf makes its U.S. debut in Portland this week but the must-watch portion of the week was in the press center rather than on the course.

LIV Golf makes it's U.S. debut this week with a handful of new faces since the London edition. Amongst them was Brooks Koepka, who delivered a tense press conference earlier in the week when pressed about his decision. 

Speaking of Koepka, Ryder Cup staples like himself, Dustin Johnson and "Captain America" may have a tougher path to playing the biannual matches than to major championships. U.S. Captain Zach Johnson shed some light as to why. 

On the PGA Tour, the John Deere is lacking some star power, something that needle-mover Pat Perez was quick to point out. However a quick glance at the U.S. Open leaderboard from a couple weekends ago provides a reality check on just how strong the field really is. 

All that and the wackiest three-hole stretch you could imagine, packed into this week's edition of Up and Down.
