Brooks Koepka has had his short game struggles throughout 2026, with the five-time Major winner seemingly set to drastically change his bag prior to this week’s PGA Championship.
Recently becoming an equipment-free agent after splitting with Srixon, Koepka appears to have new wedges in his set-up, and was seen trialing some new putters ahead of the second men’s Major of 2026.
Taking place at Aronimink Golf Club, Koepka comes into the championship off the back of a T11th at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, his second best result since returning to the PGA Tour.
