LET hosts Access Series in Germany, Jason Day clarifies, US amateur skips Masters, ball rollback delayed. The Back Nine.
Last Friday it became official: Brooks Koepka is on the final entry list for the PGA Tour Farmers Insurance Open, alongside Jake Knapp and Matt Kuchar. Ranked only 246th in the world, he is eligible to start thanks to his third PGA Championship win three years ago and the Returning Member Program of the PGA Tour, which has welcomed the five-time major winner back and even used him in marketing. Fans’ interest in the 35-year-old’s first PGA Tour appearance since the 2022 Valspar Championship is understandably high.
Here’s the @PGATOUR’s new season-long marketing campaign for 2026: “Where the Best Belong.”

With this entry, Koepka’s comeback into the establishment is virtually official. The Florida native is traveling to Torrey Pines today and is especially nervous about the week of truth — or rather, curious about the reception he will receive. \”I know there’s a lot of work ahead with my relationships with other players. I know I upset quite a few people with the LIV switch,\” Koepka recently admitted in a phone interview. \”There are definitely players who are happy, and definitely players who will be angry.\”
\”There’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.\”

Wyndham Clark, also in the field, commented: \”If anyone is upset, I have to rebuild those relationships,\” said the returnee. He plans to seek out private conversations, away from prying media ears and microphones. \”There is more to Torrey Pines than just playing golf. I’m excited and will be relieved once this first week is behind me — including dealing with players, media, and some of the tougher conversations. But I look forward to it and
