Brooks Koepka has added an interesting tournament to his PGA Championship preparation.

The ONEFlight Myrtle Beach Classic, an alternate event on the PGA Tour, announced Wednesday that Koepka has committed to its event. The tournament will be contested next week, coinciding with the tour’s signature event, the Truist Championship at Quail Hollow.

As part of his return program to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf, Koepka is not allowed to accept sponsor exemptions into signature events. He was a first alternate at the RBC Heritage on his FedEx Cup ranking, but ultimately no one dropped out and he didn’t get into the field.

A win at Myrtle Beach would get Koepka into the two remaining signature events—the Memorial and Travelers Championship—but next week’s appearance allows Koepka to get competitive reps before the PGA, which begins May 14 at Aronimink Golf Club outside of Philadelphia.

Since winning the Wanamaker in 2023 at Oak Hill, Koepka has struggled at majors, although he did post a T-12 earlier this month at the Masters. Koepka’s won the PGA Championship three times, and has three other top-five finishes at the event.

In eight starts since his return, Koepka has one top 10 and four top 25s, and ranks second in strokes gained: approach.
