No, it’s not superstars Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson. It’s their model wives: Jena Sims and Paulina Gretzky.

Now, reports say LIV Golf’s top two WAGs are feuding.

Sims recently took to Instagram and went on a “blocking spree” in the wake of the trolling she said she received after posting lingerie photos taken for her husband on their wedding day.

Now, it looks like among those getting the boot is Gretzky.

Sims fell into a water trap last week after she clapped her husband and other LIV Golf players when she picked up on a rumour that the rebels were going to start earning world ranking points.

The news — if true — would have been golf’s big bang. Alas, the message was premature and the sport’s governing body said it would review LIV Golf’s application but nothing was written in stone.

This brings us back to Gretzky.

Sims posted on Instagram, flashing a peace sign: “Been on a blocking spree lately. If you’re coming for me I’ll help ya see our way out.”

The drama can be traced to the 2018 Ryder Cup when there were reports — unsubstantiated — that golf’s two main power couples had a falling out.

Koepka and Johnson were once bosom buddies, hanging out, playing golf and working out together. But there were reports they almost came to blows at the Ryder Cup. An argument between the two links stars reportedly became so heated that other players had to split them up.

Koepka allegedly threatened to “flatten” Johnson, the respected French sports newspaper L’Equipe reported.

Gretzky and Sims too were once closerthanthis and even shared a holiday together in the Maldives with their husbands — after the alleged Ryder Cup brouhaha. At the Masters in 2020, Golf.com speculated whether the women were even on speaking terms.

For her part, Gretzky has scrubbed her social media accounts of any evidence of the Maldives trip. Koepka seemed to support the cold war.

“I’m not close with any of the guys out here. We are friends, but at the same time I’ve got enough friends,” Koepka told Golf Week in 2020. “I see these guys 22 weeks of the year. When I go home, I don’t need to see them for another 30 weeks, you know?”
