Brooks Koepka, an American professional golfer, is married to actress Jenna Sims, and they have a son, Crew Sims Koepka.

The five major title winner came back in his primary form when he was scolded by his coach, Pete Cowen, for about 45 minutes in a bunker at the far corner of Oakmont’s practice area.

"I'll put it this way: JT thought he had to come check on me in the bunker."

Brooks Koepka opened up about a heated conversation he had with his coach Pete Cowen, and how it helped him.

Brooks has announced his 125th U.S. Open, but he hasn’t felt like himself in recent months.

He slipped to No. 98 in Data Golf’s rankings and hasn’t finished better than T-17 on the 54-player circuit while trunk-slamming at Augusta National and Quail Hollow.

He admits to being into some bad habits and bad swing positions.

Brooks didn’t play the golf course the first two days of practice at last week’s LIV Golf Virginia event. He opted for the practice and sat on the range.

When everything started to make sense for him, his coach scolded him pretty well to bring him back into shape.

Pete has used the same tactics in the past ahead of the 2017 U.S. Open. He told the champion to stop whining about his putting following last year’s Masters.

Jena Sims is open about her career and charitable work, but she has kept much of her family life private.

Only a few details about her upbringing and loved ones have emerged over the years. Her father is an avid golfer, and her sister also plays golf.

She graduated from Winder-Barrow High School in 2007 and then briefly attended Belmont University in Nashville, Tennessee, where she studied marketing.

Her charitable spirit was evident from a young age. She founded HBBQ (Has-Been Beauty Queens), an organization dedicated to raising money for cancer research.

It was a profoundly personal initiative as she had lost both of her grandfathers to cancer.

Jena connected with childhood cancer patients through HBBQ, even visiting hospitals in Atlanta to spend time with them.

While Jena keeps her immediate family out of the spotlight, she shares a warm relationship with her in-laws, Bob Koepka and Denise Jakows.

She has been seen supporting Brooks at major tournaments, including the 2018 U.S. Open, where she cheered him on alongside his family.
