Brooks Koepka Intends to Play in 2021 Masters After Surgery on Knee Injury

Brooks Koepka is planning on playing in Thursday's Masters at Augusta National Golf Club, and he's planning on winning.

"If I knew I was going to finish second, I wouldn't have shown up," Koepka said after playing a few holes of the course Sunday, per Bob Harig of ESPN.

Harig noted Koepka has not played since he tied for second place at the WGC-Workday Championship on Feb. 28 because of a knee injury. He underwent surgery on March 16 to address a kneecap dislocation and ligament damage.

Koepka missed the Players Championship and Honda Classic from the injury he said happened when he slipped while spending time with his family.
