Koepka, 32, has achieved several milestones in his career at a pretty young age.

However, the big question remains if he is going to make an appearance at the Masters field next month.

With the announcement being made, 18 LIV stars received a clean chit to enter the Masters tournament. And Brooks Koepka is surely among these players along with legend Phil Mickelson and many more. This means that the golfer has earned his invitation to play at Augusta National. Not to forget, with his current OWGR ranking (106), the golfer isn’t visibly among the world’s top 50 players. But his 2019 PGA Championship win exemption has given him clearance to participate in the Masters through 2024.

However, there has been no confirmation about his intentions to appear at the tournament. Keeping in mind how much the Masters matters to each and every professional golfer, there are high chances for the fans to see Koepka on the field. On the other hand, the final decision to play or pass still stays in the hands of the former world no. 1. Nonetheless, keeping aside his participation in the Masters, it is safe to say that Koepka has regained his lost confidence. And it was made clear with his statements right before the LIV Golf Tucson event“I feel like my game is right where I need to be. I’m very happy.”
