It seems Jena Sims is all for unity in the golf community.
Shortly after news emerged Tuesday that the PGA Tour and its LIV Golf rival will be merging with the DP World Tour into one company, Brooks Koepka’s wife, model Jena Sims, responded to the historic move on her Instagram Stories.
“It’s a good day to have a good day,” the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit hopeful, 34, wrote alongside Golf.com’s report of the merger, concluding her message with a handshake emoji.
Sims, who is expecting her first child with Koepka, then appeared to reference the backlash those who defected to LIV endured, along with their loved ones.
In response to the line from Golf Digest that read, “The PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, which is the primary financial backer of LIV Golf, have announced a treaty and potential merger, ending two years of civil war in professional golf,” the mom-to-be added in a separate Instagram Story, “And on social media to innocent bystanders and families of the players who joined LIV.”

Jena Sims appeared to reference the backlash those who defect to LIV Golf receive, along with their loved ones. Jena Sims/InstagramKoepka, a five-time major champion, joined the rebel tour last June following his destination wedding to Sims in Turks and Caicos.
“Opinions change. I feel very comfortable with the decision I made,” Koepka said of his choice at the time. “I’m happy, and did what’s best for me.”
Koepka has won two individual titles with LIV and became the first member of the controversial circuit to win a major after claiming his third-ever PGA Championship victory in May.
Everything to know about the PGA Tour-LIV Golf merger
PGA Tour and LIV Golf are ending a war — by joining forces.
The two golf leagues, along with the European DP World Tour, are merging into one company after a period of fierce rivalry, one where LIV Golf defectors were banned from competing on the Tour.
LIV, financed by the Saudi Public Investment Fund and led by legendary golfer Greg Norman, lured some of the top names in golf last year with reported nine-figure contracts, including Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau.
Other huge golf names, however, like Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, stayed loyal to the Tour, despite being offered a massive amount of money.

Norman said last year Woods turned down a payday in the range of $700 million-$800 million to stick with the PGA Tour.
With the merger, the Saudi-backed LIV and the Tour are ending an antitrust battle and agreed to end all litigation between the two sides.
“After two years of disruption and distraction, this is a historic day for the game we all know and love,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said in a statement. “This transformational partnership recognizes the immeasurable strength of the PGA TOUR’s history, legacy and pro-competitive model.”

Much like Sims, Koepka also responded to Tuesday’s groundbreaking announcement on social media, jabbing one of LIV’s most outspoken critics, Golf Channel analyst Brandel Chamblee.
“Welfare Check on Chamblee,” Koepka tweeted.
Chamblee addressed the developing situation Tuesday afternoon on Golf Channel, stating in part, “I think this is one of the saddest days in the history of professional golf.”
