Brooks Koepka is, indubitably, one of the best golfers of the current generation. His accolades, consisting of nine PGA Tour wins, including five majors, speak for themselves. However, none of this would have been possible without the support of his caddie.
Although the golfer has found a reliable looper in a Northern Irishman, that did not stop Keopka’s wife, Jena Sims, from carrying the bags for the professional during a special occasion. But now, the spouse has found herself being replaced by someone else—a person that the five-time major winner loves more at that!

The model had once caddied for her husband, who was her fiance back then, in the par-3 contest. The competition was held ahead of the 2022 Masters, as the event saw a family member of the professional carry the bags for him. The romantic gesture remains one of the special moments for the 33-year-old on the course, despite not making the cut at the major.
And now, Sims went ahead to upload a story to her official Instagram handle showcasing a new caddie uniform. But this time, it’s not her moniker but Crew’s name that has been printed on the clothes.
The video that Mrs. Koepka shared on her social media was uploaded with the caption “It’ll be here before you know it,” all the while expressing her eagerness for the same. The miniature Augusta National jumpsuit was produced by CaddieUniforms for their baby boy during the par-3 contest at the Masters Tournament that will be held in 2024.

However, curiosity naturally arises about the contest that is held every year as a tradition for one of the most important tournaments in the game.

Dating back more than six decades, the stress relief of sorts was first held in 1960, which saw Sam Snead win the same. The idea originated with then-Augusta National Chairman Clifford Roberts. The beloved event would see golfers team it up with their significant others, relatives, or other family members who would carry the bags for their professional golfer.
The tournament would usually witness participants and non-competing past champions who, along with their dear loopers, would traverse their way around a nine-hole layout situated at the northeast corner of the course. Although it has been a tradition for a long time, the bizarre fact is that not one winner has gone ahead to emerge victorious at the major that follows.
