American Woods is a 15-time main winner and chairman of the PGA Tour’s Future Competitions Committee.
And Koepka added: “I did not know [the new PGA Tour commissioner] Brian [Rolapp], I did not have a relationship with him clearly simply because he is fairly new and Jay [Monahan, the previous incumbent] was going to be the subsequent name.
“I felt like Tiger was any person that I’ve relied on up to now for questions and solutions and methods to take care of issues and I felt like that was perhaps probably the most snug name for me.”
Married with a younger son, the three-time PGA Championship winner and twice US Open champion mentioned he was leaving LIV Golf to prioritise “the wants of his household”.
“I do not remorse something I do,” added the Florida-born Koepka, who received 9 PGA Tour occasions throughout his 9 seasons on North America’s elite skilled circuit.
“I’ve discovered loads. I’ve all the time loved the experience regardless of the place I am at.”
Talking about making his return to Torrey Pines in California, he mentioned: “Possibly I am just a little nervous about that as effectively, simply to see, I suppose, how the followers reply to it.
“I hope that they are excited. I hope that they are glad that I am out right here. You realize, hopefully that goes, at the least just like the conversations I’ve had with gamers, that they are excited that I am again and glad to see me play.”
Rory McIlroy just lately instructed Koepka’s return to the PGA Tour might imply the rival LIV Golf tour was in decline.
However the Northern Irishman has now added the choice might even have been motivated by the extent of competitors.
“He clearly is a really aggressive particular person and desires to compete on the highest stage,” mentioned McIlroy, 36.
“I believe he made the choice that he thought competing on the highest stage meant coming again to the PGA Tour.
“It looks like a few of these guys [on the LIV tour] are perhaps beginning to realise that they are not getting every thing that they wished out of going over there, and that is clearly a terrific factor for the PGA Tour.”
