Brooks Koepka and the wild year no one saw coming
The surprise is not that Brooks Koepka was named PGA Tour player of the year on Tuesday.
No, the surprise is that Koepka was a player at all in 2018 -- and the craziness the enveloped his season.
Career-threatening injury. Two major championship titles. Lack of respect. Spectator injury. Ryder Cup drama.
Koepka packed a lot into the last 10 months, some of it not of his own doing, but a good bit due to his stellar play in winning two major championships, all but making him a lock for the Jack Nicklaus Award based on a vote of PGA Tour players.
