Brooks Koepka shocked his fans twice on Twitter, first a new profile picture and then a new hair color. Star barber Philly “BarberKing” Garcia gave Brooks a chic new 2000’s Eminem look hairdo. Brooks Koepka presents himself to his fans white-blonde from root to tip. “Blondes have more fun” is his motto for the new hairstyle.

The new “Slim Shady” Brooks Koepka
Koepka himself underlaid the video for the new hairstyle with THE Eminem classic “The Real Slim Shady”, so it’s not surprising that his fans provide comparisons to one of the most famous rappers of the 2000s.

“You lost a bet!”
Of course, there is also wild speculation as to why Koepka went among the blondes, of course, a lost bet. Could it be that his color change isn’t going down well with the golf course’s fashionistas?

The best comparisons to the new frieze
Aside from various conjectures as to how the new hairstyle came about, fans insisted on comparing Koepka’s new look with the fashion icons and faux pas of the last few decades. Aside from Miley Cyrus and P!nk, there are plenty of boy band members and sitcom cast members to compare to.

Would Brooks have survived long in Game of Thrones? In any case, the hair color is a perfect match for the Tagaryen house, the white-blonde dragon lovers from Westeros.

Speaking of fantasy epics, the comparison with Harry Potter’s youthful nemesis is of course not far off. Brooks Koepka as Draco Malfoy’s older cousin? With the new hair color, Koepka would fit in really well with the family of the spoiled blonde baddie from the wizarding saga.

And the political satire “Don’t look up” is also used to mock Koepka’s new top coat:

Mixed feelings about the new look
Some fans see Brooks Koepka’s new hair as an upgrade, if not directly for his style:

Some (former) fans are probably shocked by the new hair color and they use harsh words. There is probably little worse than the words of this Twitter user:
Welp… it’s official…I now like @b_dechambeau more than you…
