Brooks Koepka has always resisted easy analysis. Warrior and bully. Swagger that never connected. Machine and human. But as he returns to the PGA Tour, here's a moment away from the cameras about the other side of Brooks www.golfdigest.com/story/other-...

One of the worst parts of getting older is realizing most jobs are won through schmoozing/asskissing rather than results/resume. Which makes Cignetti’s success such a refreshing validation of meritocracy.

Tour brass believes extracting any one of Rahm/Bryson/Koepka—without losing a star in return—would be a blow LIV couldn't answer. Add in that Koepka never sued the Tour, and his return may come sooner than you think www.golfdigest.com/story/brooks...

My senior year at Ohio a West Virginia fan jumped behind the counter at a Court Street pub and challenged anyone to a drinking contest. A female bartender punched him in the face and told him never to disrespect her bar. He cried and threatened to sue. Go Bobcats
