The five-time major champion made his 2026 season debut at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, stepping back inside the ropes with the same edge and intensity that’s defined his career. Koepka was locked in and ready to get back to the grind, bringing his swagger and renewed fire as he kicked off his return to the tour stage.

LEADERBOARD WATCH
It’s been a strong start to the season for Srixon staff, with multiple players already making noise near the top of the leaderboards. The season opened at the Sony Open in Hawaii where Taylor Pendrith posted a T6 finish, firing four rounds in the 60s and finishing at 11-under par. He tied for sixth in Strokes Gained: Total for the week, marking a solid start to his 2026 season.
The momentum carried into the west coast swing as Andrew Putnam put on a show at The American Express, finishing T2 and posting a career-low 60 in the second round. His low-round 60 was highlighted by a flawless 18-for-18 performance in greens hit that day and 83% greens in regulation for the week. Putnam made an equipment change this week, switching from a ZXi Utility 3-iron to ZXi7 4-iron, noting the more consistent contact in bigger moments throughout the week.
At the Farmers Insurance Open, Srixon continued its strong run with two top 15 finishes, as Andrew Novak secured a T7 and Hideki Matsuyama added a T11.
SRIXON INKS NEW LONG-TERM DEAL WITH U.S. OPEN CHAMPION
Srixon and U.S. Open Champion J.J. Spaun have agreed to a new long-term deal, keeping the current World No. 7 on the Srixon roster for the foreseeable future. Spaun is coming off a breakout season, highlighted by his dramatic victory at the 2025 U.S. Open and his best statistical year on the PGA TOUR. This longstanding partnership has already delivered in the game’s biggest moments, and Srixon is excited to continue building on that success, working alongside Spaun as he pushes for more wins, more majors, and more world-class performances.
NEW SEASON, NEW ADDITIONS
After a breakout 2025 LPGA Tour season, Srixon is carrying that momentum into 2026 with the addition of two exciting new staffers: Brooke Matthews and Jenny Shin. Both players strengthen an already impressive Team Srixon roster and bring even more energy and firepower heading into the new season. That momentum showed immediately at the Hilton Grand Vacations Tournament of Champions, where Srixon opened the year with two top 10 finishes: Miyu Yamashita at T5 and Nasa Hataoka finishing T9, setting the tone for another big year on Tour.
