Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the Rocket Classic, the penultimate event of the regular season, due to an undisclosed reason. He has been experiencing an ulnar-nerve issue that has impacted his left hand, previously causing him to miss the final round of the RBC Canadian Open. After missed cuts at the U.S. Open and the Genesis Scottish Open, he finished T-28 at The Open. Following his withdrawal, Ben Silverman replaces Koepka in the field. Koepka currently ranks 84th in FedExCup points, with only the top 70 qualifying for the playoffs after next week’s Wyndham Championship.
