Brooks Koepka

Age: 28

2018 PGA Tour highlights: 17 starts, two wins (U.S. Open, PGA Championship), six top-10s

Ryder Cup experience: 3-1-0 record in one appearance

Buzz: Koepka missed the Masters and most of the spring due to a lingering wrist injury. It was all good from there, as he won his second consecutive U.S. Open in June and held off childhood idols Adam Scott and Tiger Woods down the stretch at the PGA Championship to snag a third career major.
