LET debuts Access Series in Germany, Jason Day clarifies quit post, US amateur skips Masters, ball rollback delayed. The Back Nine.
Last Friday it was finally official: Brooks Koepka is on the final entry list for the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open, placed between Jake Knapp and Matt Kuchar. Currently ranked 246th in the world rankings, Koepka is eligible to start thanks to his third PGA Championship win from three years ago and the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program, which has graciously welcomed the five-time major winner back and already started advertising with him. Fan interest for the 35-year-old’s first PGA Tour appearance since the 2022 Valspar Championship is quite high.

\”It’s probably a mix of ‘We’re glad you’re back, welcome home’ and ‘You shouldn’t be here.’ I understand everyone’s perspective. Maybe I should have taken a year off, and I’m very grateful the Tour gave me this opportunity.\”

I’m excited and will be glad when this first week is behind me – dealing with players, media, and some tough conversations. But I look forward to it and want to have those talks.\”
