Nervous Koepka has game and fan worries

Star ‘super grateful to be back’ on Tour
-
Brooks Koepka is nervous ahead of his return to the PGA Tour this week after jumping to LIV Golf in 2022, wondering about his game and how fans will treat him.
The five-time major winner split with the Saudi-backed series in December and joined a Returning Member Programme announced earlier this month by PGA Tour chief executive officer Brian Rolapp.
Koepka makes his 187th PGA Tour start today at Torrey Pines in the Farmers Insurance Open.
“It feels a little bit different. I'm definitely a little bit more nervous this week,” Koepka said on Tuesday. “But it feels good. I’m super grateful to be back.”
“It will give me a good idea where my game is at.”
Another unknown for the 35-year-old American is how spectators will react after he departed for a rich offer from LIV, where he won five events in four seasons plus the 2023 PGA Championship.
