Koepka Says Family Healing Has Him Enjoying Golf Again at PGA Championship

He attributes last year's slump to a 16-week miscarriage.

Overview

  • Koepka, who opened with a 1-under 69 on Thursday at the PGA Championship, said the 2025 miscarriage "took a toll" on him and his wife, Jena Sims.
  • Jena Sims disclosed in October 2025 that doctors found at 16 weeks that their baby's heart had stopped, and the couple said they hope to give their son, Crew, a sibling one day.
  • After leaving LIV Golf at the end of 2025, Koepka rejoined the PGA Tour in January 2026 under the Returning Member Program, with outlets reporting undisclosed terms that include a significant charity payment and forfeited equity.
  • His 2026 form shows progress with top-15 finishes at the Cognizant Classic, The Players, the Masters, and Myrtle Beach, as he praises his ball-striking but calls his putting "absolutely horrendous."
  • Sims has been visible at events this year as the family focuses on recovery, a public stance that has opened conversation about pregnancy loss and helped explain Koepka's decision to prioritize home life.
