Was Brooks Koepka trolling Rory McIlroy with bikini picture of his wife?

Some people think Brooks Koepka had nefarious intentions when he posted about his wife on Instagram Tuesday.
Koepka shared a photo on his Instagram account that showed his wife Jena Sims in a bikini. The photo was from a shoot Sims did as part of Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit edition.
“So proud of you @jenamsims amazing to see what hard work can do! I love you!” Koepka wrote as his caption.
That seems like a pretty straightforward and innocent post — Koepka comes off as a guy proud of his wife and congratulating her on her successful photoshoot.
But some thought Koepka was trolling one of his golf rivals, McIlroy, by going “in your face” on a day when the news of McIlroy’s divorce filing was reported.
🔥 Right after word that PGA golfer Rory McIlroy is divorcing his wife LIV Golf rival Brooks Koepka posts a bikini photo of his wife. People in the comments clearly noticed the coincidental timing. @rorymcilroy @bkoepka @pgatour @pga @livgolf_league #golf #divorce #bikini pic.twitter.com/Yl2bwTYvGl

Some also noted that McIlroy’s ex-fiancee Caroline Wozniacki commented on Koepka’s post to compliment Sims as a “hot mama.”
Do you think there was more to Koepka’s post than meets the eye? Was he also trolling McIlroy? Or was he merely sharing a proud post of his wife on the day the SI swimsuit edition was released? You make the call.
