The surprise is not that Brooks Koepka was named PGA Tour player of the year on Tuesday.
No, the surprise is that Koepka was a player at all in 2018 -- and the craziness the enveloped his season.
Career-threatening injury. Two major championship titles. Lack of respect. Spectator injury. Ryder Cup drama.
