Last Friday it became official: Brooks Koepka is on the final entry list for the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open, positioned between Jake Knapp and Matt Kuchar.

He intends to consciously seek contact and hold private conversations without curious media ears and microphones. \”There’s much more at stake in Torrey Pines than just playing golf. I’m excited and will be glad when this first week is behind me — including dealing with players, media, and some of the tougher talks. But I look forward to those talks and really want to have them.\”
