Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka remains in the field at The Renaissance Club despite earlier reports suggesting withdrawal.

Koepka will tee it up at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open after confusion surrounding his place in the field was cleared up by a golf reporter.

Earlier this weekend, Rob Bolton indicated the five-time major champion was no longer set to compete at The Renaissance Club in North Berwick. However, Bolton has confirmed a misunderstanding, with Koepka now remaining in the field on a sponsor’s invite.

Brooks Koepka (sponsor; this is how he originally had gained entry, so his disappearance that triggered the previous update is curious, but this indicates that he’s healthy enough to remain committed)

Koepka has received a sponsor exemption into the co-sanctioned DP World Tour and PGA Tour event, which begins on Thursday and serves as the final major tune-up before The Open at Royal Birkdale.

The 36-year-old will be hoping to put recent injury concerns behind him after battling an ulnar nerve irritation that first flared during last month’s RBC Canadian Open. The issue ultimately forced him to withdraw before the final round at TPC Toronto.

Following that withdrawal, Koepka revealed scans on his neck showed no structural damage, with doctors tracing the problem to nerve irritation affecting his hand.

Although he insisted he was not dealing with significant pain, the condition caused numbness and reduced grip strength, making it difficult to control the club consistently.

Koepka admitted the sensation in his ring and little fingers had affected both his feel and consistency.

The nine-time PGA Tour winner attempted to play through the issue at the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills last month but missed the cut following rounds of 73 and 77.

The 2026 Genesis Scottish Open will mark Koepka’s first appearance at The Renaissance Club and his first start in the tournament since 2015, offering him a valuable opportunity to sharpen his links game before heading to Royal Birkdale for The Open.

“I have great memories of playing in Scotland over the years, going way back to that victory in 2013, so it’s cool to be going back to the Genesis Scottish Open this summer,” Koepka said.

Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy headline the field in North Berwick.

With the Scottish Open being co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, a host of LIV Golf players will be in the field too, including Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton.

England’s Justin Rose has chosen to bypass the tournament.

Koepka returned to the PGA Tour earlier this season after ending his spell with LIV Golf at the conclusion of the 2025 campaign.

Currently ranked 114th in the world, Koepka has recorded just one top-10 finish this season, finishing tied for ninth at the Cognizant Classic in March.

It remains to be seen whether Koepka will address his latest injury concerns ahead of the Scottish Open, but his commitment to the tournament suggests he is confident of competing both this week in North Berwick and at The Open seven days later.
