It’s been half a year since Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour after a three-and-a-half-year stint with LIV Golf. Despite the shakeup, little has changed for the former World No. 1, who has already teed it up in 13 PGA Tour events this season. For Koepka, the return was seamless. For his wife, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Jena Sims, it meant rethinking everything. Responding to a fan’s question on her Instagram Stories on Monday, the 37-year-old revealed a major shift in how she engages with golf’s inner circle since Koepka returned to the PGA Tour.

“I’m being more intentional with the wags and my female friendships. I attend the wives events and want relationships with these amazing women 🤍 I didn’t really do that the first go around. Not sure why! This is me being super classy at the last outing.”
Earlier this month, Sims told People that being back on the PGA Tour “feels like home.” The former Miss Georgia Teen U.S.A., who has been part of the golf world since she began dating Koepka in 2015, said the group of players’ wives and girlfriends welcomed her back. She also highlighted the strong friendships she has built over the years, particularly through team events such as the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup.

Sims has also attended multiple tournaments to support Brooks since his return, including the WM Phoenix Open, THE PLAYERS Championship, and the U.S. Open. But her second shot at bettering her relationship became possible after Koepka announced last December that he was leaving the Saudi Arabia PIF-funded team to spend more time with his family.
The 36-year-old then applied for reinstatement into the PGA Tour and got the green light under five specific conditions. He has made the cut nine times and recorded six top-25 finishes. As Sims looks to deepen her WAG relationships, she recently made headlines for revealing her crush. And surprisingly, it wasn’t Koepka.
Jena Sims has a crush on Taylor Swift’s future husband
Earlier this month, during an interview with People, she recalled meeting the Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce at the 2026 WM Phoenix Open. There, Kelce teamed up with her husband, Brooks Koepka, during the Annexus Pro-Am. Sims even confessed she dressed differently for the occasion because she was so excited to meet him.
“I mean, he’s my hall pass, and Brooks knows that. Brooks was like, ‘You are ridiculous’… I planned my outfit. I was so excited to meet Travis Kelce.”
She also revealed Kelce remembered her when they crossed paths again at the Masters.
“At the Masters this past year, he came straight up to me and was like, ‘Hey, it’s good to see you again.’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God. You remember?’”
Despite the playful confession, Sims emphasized her devotion to Koepka.
“I have a pretty good setup. I won’t change it for the world.”
Since Koepka returned to the PGA Tour, it appears Sims has been enjoying all the changes she had to make. Perhaps you can expect her to appear at more tournaments to support her husband.
