Brooks Koepka had an underwhelming finish to his LIV golf season this year. His team Smash GC finished in the eighth position, as a tier 2 team. Individually, Talor Gooch leaped past Koepka to bag the Individual Champion trophy. Actually, it was a ring this year, custom-designed for the event, apart from the $18 million dollar bonus. 

Now, that the season has ended, fans were wondering if Brooks Koepka would play in any tournament before the LIV season 2024 begins. Although he resigned from the PGA Tour, he can still play in the Opens and certain other events. To the delight of his fans, an update has dropped recently. 

Brooks Koepka’s next appearance 

Brooks Koepka’s fan page Tracking Koepka, has recently tweeted an update about his next competitive event. The tweet reads “🚨🚨Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, Brooks Koepka is back in action this week at the Dunlop!🚨🚨”

The tweet also mentions his tee-off time for rounds one and two. For the first round Koepka would tee off on the back with at 9:05 AM. And for the second round, he would tee off on the front at 10:10 AM. It also mentioned that Koepka would be playing with Hideki Matsuyama and Wyndham Clark.
