Brooks Koepka fumes after ‘pathetic’ Wyndham Championship performance costs him place in FedExCup playoffs | Golf News

Brooks Koepka labelled missing the FedExCup playoffs “pathetic” in a brutally honest assessment of his game after a low finish at the Wyndham Championship.

The five-time major champion, back on the PGA Tour after a four-year hiatus with LIV Golf, posted a final-round 70 at Sedgefield Country Club on Sunday.

Koepka was tied for 70th when his round finished, way short of the fourth-place finish he needed to secure qualification for next week’s St Jude Championship.

“I struck the ball great,” Koepka explained. “It’s just all on the greens. I don’t know what the deal is.

“Got zero confidence, can’t putt. I don’t know. There’s going to be a lot of changes here soon.”

Asked to sum up his disappointment at missing the playoffs, Koepka didn’t hold back, adding: “Pretty disappointed. I think it’s pretty pathetic that I can’t get through.

“Zero top-10s basically in two years. To be in the prime of my career and be as good as I think I am, I think that’s very pathetic, disappointing.

“I just need to go home and completely re-evaluate everything.”

Koepka, 36, has not made a PGA Tour post-season appearance since 2021, having featured every year, except 2020 when he was injured, dating back to 2015.

The American has secured just one top-10 finish in the 16 tournaments he has played since returning to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf.
