Brooks Koepka Misses FedExCup Top 70, Calls PGA Tour Return Pathetic

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Aug 10

Summary

  • Koepka finished 94th in the FedExCup standings after a T67 at the Wyndham Championship, ending his first season back on the PGA Tour before next week's playoff opener in Memphis.
  • A 70 on Sunday left him 3-under for the week and 19 shots behind winner Michael Brennan, extending a season in which he failed to post a top-10 finish.
  • The five-time major champion said the result was "pretty pathetic" for a player he believes is still in his prime, blaming his slump largely on poor putting and "zero confidence" on the greens.
  • In 16 starts, Koepka made 11 cuts with a best finish of T9 at the Cognizant Classic and a T12 at the Masters, saying he still loved being back on tour despite the disappointment.
  • His return from LIV Golf also carried financial limits: the PGA Tour estimated he gave up about $85 million in potential earnings and he was ineligible for the 2026 $100 million FedExCup bonus program.
