Brooks Koepka will compete in The Players Championship this week for the first time since 2022.
It was only two months ago when Koepka made his return to the PGA Tour after making his exit from LIV Golf.
The 35-year-old has struggled since rejoining the PGA Tour, by his standards at least.
However, Koepka did earn a top-10 finish in Palm Beach at the Cognizant Classic earlier this month.
Koepka changed putters ahead of the Cognizant Classic, switching from his trusty old blade, and he used his new mallet to great effect.
While we are still yet to see the best of the five-time major champion since his PGA Tour return, he is definitely headed in the right direction.
Koepka is at The Players Championship this week and will be hopeful of returning to the winners’ circle.
Brooks Koepka shares what has surprised him since his PGA Tour return
Koepka is well-known for being a straight-shooter.
And he has been very honest about his feelings since leaving LIV Golf to return to the PGA Tour.
Koepka spoke to reporters at TPC Sawgrass on Tuesday and responded when asked if anything has taken him by surprise since he returned to the PGA Tour.
“Maybe just how great the fans have been,“ Koepka said.
“I think that’s kind of been the big thing. I didn’t know how the reception was going to be. Obviously you can sit in bed and just kind of lay there and think about a million different things of how it’s going to go.
“I mean, right? You have all these scenarios that play out, but it never really comes to fruition of exactly what you think.
“I think that’s been the big thing. It’s been exciting, it’s been fun, and it makes it enjoyable to be out there.“
Brooks Koepka needs time to adapt back on the PGA Tour
It’s great for Koepka that he has been received so well by the fans since returning to the PGA Tour.
He wouldn’t have known what to expect when he came back, having left to join LIV Golf back in June 2022.
It will undoubtedly take Koepka some more time before he feels like he truly belongs back on the PGA Tour.
The American looked rather sheepish when he made his first start since returning to the PGA Tour at Torrey Pines two months ago.
However, he has looked more and more comfortable with every week that has passed.
Koepka will be hoping that continues this week at TPC Sawgrass.
