Last Friday it became official: Brooks Koepka is on the final entry list for the PGA Tour’s Farmers Insurance Open, between Jake Knapp and Matt Kuchar. Although currently ranked only 246th in the world rankings, Koepka is eligible to start thanks to his third PGA Championship win three years ago and the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program, which has welcomed the five-time major winner back and even featured him in advertising. Fans’ interest in the 35-year-old’s first appearance is expected to be considerable.

I am excited and will be glad once this first week is behind me — including dealing with players, media, and some of the tougher conversations. But I’m looking forward to it and want to have those talks.\”
\”Brooks just has to be who he was when he left. No one should expect him to change to please others. I don’t think Brooks has to play pro-ams on Monday or walk the
