Brooks Koepka now working with putting guru Brad Faxon, new swing coach

Brooks Koepka, the five-time major champion, has enlisted Brad Faxon, a renowned putting coach and NBC sports analyst, to assist him in refining his putting technique. Faxon, who has mentored Rory McIlroy since 2018, has also started coaching Koepka's full swing. The two are working together following Koepka's last competitive event, the Alfred Dunhill Links, where he finished tied for sixth place.

Koepka, who has struggled with his putting this year, ranking 131st in Strokes Gained Putting, credits Faxon for helping him feel more liberated on the greens. Koepka's new swing coach, Darren May, who also works with Keegan Bradley, is based at Grove XXIII in Jupiter, Florida, where Koepka is a member. Koepka and Faxon began their collaboration in August, shortly after Koepka missed the playoffs due to a lack of entries in the FedEx Cup playoffs.
