Brooks Koepka has been trying to rehab his knee injury, but with less than a month to go until the Presidents Cup in Melbourne (December 9-15) he has contacted captain Tiger Woods to withdraw.
Woods then advised us that he has replaced Koepka with Rickie Fowler who hasn't played for a couple of months after getting married and going on an extensive honeymoon.
Here is Koepka's statement:
"Today, I am announcing my withdrawal from the U.S. Presidents Cup Team because of my knee injury. I notified Captain Tiger Woods that despite constant medical care and rehab, I am not able to play golf at this time. I consider it to be a high honor to be part of the 2019 team and I regret not being able to compete.
Since my injury in Korea, I have been in constant contact with Tiger and assured him that I was making every effort to be 100 percent in time for the Presidents Cup in Australia. However, I need more time to heal.
I’m sorry I won’t be able to represent the Red, White and Blue this time around and I wish my teammates nothing but the best as they work to retain the Presidents Cup for the USA.”
