Brooks Koepka Withdrawn From Genesis Scottish Open Field

The late roster change raises immediate questions about his fitness for The Open Championship next week.

Overview

  • The PGA Tour’s official field list and fantasy golf reporter Rob Bolton reported Saturday that Koepka was removed from the Genesis Scottish Open and replaced by Max McGreevy and William Mouw.
  • Neither Koepka nor his representatives have given a formal reason for the withdrawal, and event organizers have not released a medical explanation.
  • Recent coverage links the move to a recurring ulnar-nerve–type problem that has caused numbness and tingling in his ring and pinkie fingers and reduced grip strength.
  • Koepka withdrew late from the RBC Canadian Open after the same symptoms, then played and missed the cut at the U.S. Open while saying neck scans were clear and he was receiving treatment.
  • Koepka had accepted a sponsor exemption to use the Scottish Open as a final tune-up for The Open Championship, so his absence creates immediate uncertainty about his readiness and leaves observers looking for an update from his camp before the major.
