As one of the negotiators between the PGA Tour and Saudi Arabia, Scott's presence in the group is notable. Given that Thomas and Couples are close friends with Woods, who's leading these talks, Koepka's inclusion might seem worthy of analysis. But that is a discussion for another day.

Brooks Koepka was 1 over standing on the 18th tee and needed a par to make the weekend. He walked off the green with a quadruple-bogey 8 on the scorecard, and he'll miss the cut at the 2025 Masters.

The five-time major winner says his game is in a much better spot than last year, where he wasn't a factor in any of the sport's four biggest weeks.
