Rex & Lav pod: Is Brooks Koepka the biggest PGA challenger to Scottie Scheffler?

Koepka the 1B to Scheffler's 1A for PGA Champ.?
Rex Hoggard thinks Brooks Koepka is the likeliest player to challenge Scottie Scheffler in the PGA Championship at Valhalla Golf Course, going so far as to call him the 1B in the field, with Scheffler 1A.

With his PGA Championship title defense looming, Brooks Koepka won again on LIV.

Does that make him the No. 1 challenger to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler at Valhalla Golf Club? In this edition of the Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav, Rex Hoggard and Ryan Lavner discuss this, as well as if LIV is the perfect fit for Koepka.

Hoggard, who reported from the CJ Cup Byron Nelson, also talks about what it’s like to cover a player (like Ben Kohles) who suffers a difficult defeat.
