Last Friday it became official: Brooks Koepka is on the final PGA Tour entry list for the Farmers Insurance Open, positioned between Jake Knapp and Matt Kuchar. Ranked only 246th in the world, he is eligible due to his third PGA Championship win three years ago and the PGA Tour Returning Member Program, which has welcomed the five-time major winner back and even featured him in promotional campaigns. Fan interest in the 35-year-old’s first PGA Tour start since the 2022 Valspar Championship is expected to be high.
