Nothing is going to keep Brooks Koepka away from Augusta

The 30-year old golf star is expected to play in the Masters later this week despite having surgery on his right knee less than a month ago.

Koepka suffered a dislocated kneecap and ligament damage early last month after slipping and falling while with his family. He underwent surgery to repair the damage on March 16.

Since then he has dedicated his time to rehab, and has progressed a lot quicker than expected.

“Seven days out of surgery, I was hitting balls. I don’t think anybody expected this. I didn’t know,” said Koepka.

” The goal was to play Augusta and so we were going to see if we could play…We were hopeful we were going to be here. A couple of bad days or anything like that it could set you back quite a while.”

He is hoping to get in at least nine holes of golf as a way to ramp up for the tournament, which goes from April 8-11 at Augusta National in Georgia.

A notable golfer has been forced to miss the upcoming Masters tournament due to the coronavirus.

Spanish PGA veteran Sergio Garcia confirms he tested positive for COVID-19 after experiencing symptoms following his participation in the Houston Open this past weekend. As a result, he will not be able to play in the 2020 edition of the Masters.

After 21 years of not missing a Major Championship, I will sadly miss the Masters this week,” wrote Garcia on his official Twitter account.

“The important thing is that my family and I are feeling good. We’ll come back stronger and give the green jacket a go next April.”
