Brooks Koepka was quite hard on himself after his first year back on the PGA Tour finished on Sunday after finishing his Wyndham Championship final round.
After shooting 70, Koepka was 3-under for the tournament, which gave him a T67 finish and put him 19 strokes behind the winner, Michael Brennan.
As a result, Koepka, who left LIV Golf to rejoin the PGA Tour this year, finished 94th on the FedExCup Playoffs standings list. The top 70 in the FedEx Cup Standings move on to the St. Jude Championship in Memphis next week, which begins the first of three playoff tournaments.

Koepka was candid about this year’s performance after his final round.
“I think it’s pretty pathetic that I can’t get through,” Koepka explained, per Yahoo Sports. “[I’ve had] zero top 10s basically in two years. To be in the prime of your career and be as good as I think I am, I think that’s very pathetic, disappointing.”
The five-time major tournament winner defected from the rival LIV Golf tour at the beginning of the year, and the PGA Tour made him pay for his return.
Koepka missed out on what the PGA Tour estimated to be $85 million in potential earnings, while he was also limited to which events he participated in. Additionally, Koepka isn’t eligible for the $100 million FedExCup bonus program for the 2026 season.
But it wasn’t a total waste of a season despite how Koepka feels about it.
In his 16 starts, Koepka made 11 cuts, including a T12 at The Masters in April. His best finish came at the Cognizant Classic in March, where he placed T9 to showcase what many believed to be a resurgence in his first year back on Tour.
Koepka slowed down, though. But while he is disappointed in his performances, he enjoyed very moment of being back on the PGA Tour.
“It’s been great,” he said. “Honestly, I’ve loved it. I feel fantastic. The reception’s been great. Overall, happiness is 10 out of 10 and just excited.”
While Koepka will continue to play — he mentioned going overseas to participate in DP World Tour events in Europe – he is also hoping to get back on the PGA Tour grind this fall.
As for what he’s hoping to improve on, he was again straightforward with his answer.
“It’s just all on the greens,” he said. “I don’t know what the deal is. [I’ve] got zero confidence, can’t putt. I don’t know.”
