Brooks Koepka

Has anyone noticed they Brooks Koepka gets almost zero TV time? I believe he's +4 right now for the Masters and is getting zero TV time but they are showing Kevin Na who might not make the cut. The dude smashes the ball and is young. Everything the PGA likes. Even other tournaments he is contending in he barely gets air time. Anyone else notice this?

Kevin Na is always a potential train wreck so you don't want to miss anything. Brooks Koepka is just a really good guy and golfer who bombs the ball.

At +4 he's not really in the hunt and nobody in his group is in the hunt. Kevin Na, on the other hand, is playing with Fred Couples which means that they've already got a camera there.

The guy has 1 career win and is +4.

How many career wins does Rickie have? Similar OWGR as well, if I remember correctly. Always showing Rickie whether he is in contention or not.

 

Ummmmm.. Rickie has 4 wins and 52 Career top 10's.

Brooks has 1 win and 19 top 10's.

Rick's a better player, AND more popular.

Hasn't Koepka only been on the tour for like 3 years versus Ricki who has been on for I think like 7? I mean we can compare numbers then but it sounds like Koepka would be on the same track or surpass Ricki by his 7th year

1 win in 3 years projects to 2.31 in 7 years. While I agree RF is shown too often, he is tied for the freaking lead. Koepka gets an appropriate amount of airtime IMO.

Can't really complain about not being shown when you're not in the top 20 of the leaderboard, unless you're in a featured group, or Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson.

Technically, he's T19 and they haven't shown him once. He's also top 25 in the world. You would think he get something. He even made it thru group play during the Dell match play, slaughtering people in his group and they never showed him.

I like golf. A lot.

I think there are 20 guys out there that you could post this topic about. Off the top of my head Stenson, Scott, Rose are top 10 players you see very little of unless they are really in the thick of it. It's what is nice about the featured group, you can watch a ton of players you really like who don't make it in the broadcast as much as Phil, Rickie and Rory. Part of the madness with US wall to wall commercial coverage- there are a ton of guys golf fans would love to see more of.

I completely get the line of thought of the OP. Koepka is probably not going to figure in the outcome, but he was a Ryder cup player as was Ryan Moore who's in 6th place. Moore could be in the top 5 after tomorrow and you'll see him putt out 4 times tomorrow. 2 if he starts out with a few bogies. Instead we'll watch Fred Couples go to pieces. There is plenty of time to get more players air time in the first 2 rounds. Especially at the other majors where air time isn't as limited as the masters.

Unless you are in contention or paired with a marquee player, you don't get coverage. Too many interesting stories brewing at Masters.

 

 

Normally I would agree, but why are they showing Ryan Moore? Koepka was 2 under on the tourny, 4 under on his round at one point, shot 69 and not one shot was shown. Charlie Hoffman is even still getting airtime. I dont get it

I like golf. A lot.
