Major-champion status does not make Brooks Koepka too good for public transit.
Koepka, the two-time defending PGA Championship winner, hopped on the train in San Francisco Monday and brought the Wanamaker Trophy along with him. It made for a stares and a great photo op.
It’s not every day you hop on the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) and sit next to a professional golfer of Koepka’s status – and the hardware to prove it, no less.
Koepka, who finished off a tie for 43rd at the Genesis Invitational on Sunday, made his way north to the San Francisco Bay area early this week.
TPC Harding Park in San Francisco will host the 2020 PGA Championship May 14-17.
Koepka, who lost the World No. 1 spot to Rory McIlroy ahead of the Genesis Invitational (but remains No. 2), met with members of the media Monday as well as local athletes and celebrities.
The Genesis was Koepka’s first PGA Tour start in 2020. He is not in the field for this week’s WGC-Mexico Championship.
