LIV’s Brooks Koepka, is back to contest yet another major after last month’s Masters saw Jon Rahm edge past him to win the coveted green jacket. He is one of the 16 LIV pros who will be vying to win the Wanamaker Trophy this week at New York’s Oak Hill Country Club.

However, Koepka, who is hoping to remedy his Masters choke, had a forgettable start at the PGA Championship on Thursday. On the other hand, the LIV pro’s constant source of support and wife, Jena Sims, took to social media to share a profoundly encouraging message with her followers!

Recently, fans of Brooks Koepka were delighted to learn that the 4-time major winner and his wife, Jena Sims, were expecting a child. The pair, who tied the knot almost a year ago, took to social media earlier this month to share the lovely news with their fans.

Sims, who often takes to Instagram to share her unique insights or offer glimpses into her life, took to her Instagram stories once again on Thursday to share a refreshing message. But, this time, it was “for the women who aren’t allowing pregnancy to set their careers back.” The message was accompanied by a stunning photo of the 34-year-old beauty. Jena clearly was trying to inspire pregnant women who carry their pregnancies and their careers together with grace, women who don’t let the opinions of other stop them from doing what they do best!

In the past, Sims has spoken out against the false notions that exist around her. Speaking to Fox News in April, Sims confessed that people often perceived her as someone who did not work and just spent her husband’s money, when the truth is something else. “Y’all have no idea. I’ve been working hard. Like I’ve supported myself as an actress in LA for all of my 20s. Since moving to Florida, I’ve shot over 200 TV commercials,” she had revealed.

On Thursday, the actress, model, influencer, and entrepreneur had attended the Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit issue launch at New York’s Hard Rock Hotel. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka, who has set his eyes on a third PGA Championship win, teed it up at New York’s Oak Hills Country Club for the event’s opening day.

Brooks Koepka came very close to winning his first-ever green jacket last month, only for Rahm to come from behind and beat him to it. As he vies to win his first major since joining the Saudi-backed LIV, how did the 33-year-old fare at the opening day of the event?

He had a rough start to the day as he carded a 2-over 72 on Thursday. In addition to Koepka, other big names including Rahm, Justin Thomas, and Patrick Reed struggled as well. Meanwhile, fellow LIV pro Bryson DeChambeau shot to the top after the opening round, thanks to an impressive 4-under 66.

If Koepka wants to claim his third Wanamaker Trophy this week, he will have to turn it around on the major’s second day.
