Brooks Koepka, an American professional golfer, is married to actress Jenna Sims, and they have a son, Crew Sims Koepka.
The five major title winner came back in his primary form when he was scolded by his coach, Pete Cowen, for about 45 minutes in a bunker at the far corner of Oakmont’s practice area.
"I'll put it this way: JT thought he had to come check on me in the bunker."

Brooks has announced his 125th U.S. Open, but he hasn’t felt like himself in recent months.
He slipped to No. 98 in Data Golf’s rankings and hasn’t finished better than T-17 on the 54-player circuit while trunk-slamming at Augusta National and Quail Hollow.
He admits to being into some bad habits and bad swing positions.
Brooks didn’t play the golf course the first two days of practice at last week’s LIV Golf Virginia event. He opted for the practice and sat on the range.
When everything started to make sense for him, his coach scolded him pretty well to bring him back into shape.
Pete has used the same tactics in the past ahead of the 2017 U.S. Open. He told the champion to stop whining about his putting following last year’s Masters.
It’s nice to put a good round together. It’s been a while. I’ve been working hard, just got into some bad habits and bad swing positions. Pete got into me on Monday, in the bunker for about 45 minutes. I just sat there, and he scolded me pretty well.

Brooks Koepka And Jena Sims Are Golf’s Power Couple
Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims have become one of sports’ most beloved couples.
Their relationship, which began as a friendship, has blossomed into a beautiful partnership both on and off the golf course.
The two first met at the 2015 Masters Tournament, though they were just friends at the time.
Their romance became public two years later at the 2017 U.S. Open, and Sims made their relationship Instagram official with a fun group photo from a Las Vegas trip.
Koepka and Sims made their red carpet debut at the 2017 ESPY Awards, and Koepka won Best Male Golfer at the 2019 ESPYs with Sims by his side.
The couple celebrated three years of dating in May 2020 and starred in a Michelob Ultra Super Bowl commercial in 2021.
Koepka proposed to Jena in Jupiter, Florida, on March 3, 2021. Jena had shown her playful side, tricking fans into thinking they had secretly married in April 2022.
Furthermore, Jena stepped into the role of Koepka’s caddie for the Par 3 Contest at the 2022 Masters, a sweet tradition where players’ loved ones take on caddying duties.
Brace yourself, wedding content is far from over. We hosted a small welcome dinner on Wednesday for family, bridal party, and friends who are like family. It was magic.

The couple officially tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Turks and Caicos on June 4, 2022. Later, they announced they were expecting their first child.

Jena Sims’ Family, Golf Ties, And Heartfelt Charity Work
36-year-old Jena Michelle Sims was born on December 30, 1988, in Winder, Georgia.Her parents raised her alongside her younger sibling, Hannah Sims, who often plays a massive role in party planning.
Jena Sims is open about her career and charitable work, but she has kept much of her family life private.
Only a few details about her upbringing and loved ones have emerged over the years. Her father is an avid golfer, and her sister also plays golf.
She graduated from Winder-Barrow High School in 2007 and then briefly attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she studied marketing.
Her charitable spirit was evident from a young age. She founded HBBQ (Has-Been Beauty Queens), an organization dedicated to raising money for cancer research.
It was a profoundly personal initiative as she had lost both of her grandfathers to cancer.
I lost both of my grandfathers to cancer at an early age, and I was raising money for Relay for Life with my grandmother to benefit the American Cancer Society.
Jena Sims
Jena connected with childhood cancer patients through HBBQ, even visiting hospitals in Atlanta to spend time with them.
While Jena keeps her immediate family out of the spotlight, she shares a warm relationship with her in-laws, Bob Koepka and Denise Jakows.
She has been seen supporting Brooks at major tournaments, including the 2018 U.S. Open, where she cheered him on alongside his family.
So much gratitude, so deserved. Back to back baby! ❤️ Congratulations Brooks and Rick!
