Crew Koepka, son of Brooks and Jena, is now about 2 years old and living a helmet-free and healthy life.

He is a five-time major championship-winning American professional golfer who recently announced he is leaving LIV Golf to spend more time with his family.

He is the winner of the U.S. Open in 2017 and 2018, and the PGA Championship in 2018, 2019, and 2023.

In October 2018, he reached World No. 1, holding the position for 47 weeks.

After spending years dedicated to golf and achieving tremendous success, Brooks Koepka announced his decision to step away from LIV Golf in 2026.

Brooks Koepka’s Son, Crew, Wore A Corrective Helmet for Over a Year!

Brooks Koepka is married to actress and model Jena Sims, whom he first met at the Masters in 2015. Later, he married in June 2022 in the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Sims, known for her work in films and her philanthropic efforts through the nonprofit “Pageant of Hope,” has been a visible and supportive presence throughout Koepka’s career.

Together, they welcomed their first child, a son named Crew, in July 2023. He was born six weeks premature and spent time in the NICU, where he received special care during his early days.

Later, Crew was diagnosed with Flat Head Syndrome (plagiocephaly) and torticollis. He underwent treatment with a corrective helmet for over a year.

In late 2024, Jena shared the joyful update that Crew had successfully completed his treatment and was now helmet-free.

As Brooks Koepka mentioned, the reason for his decision to leave LIV Golf was family; he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Jena Sims, and their young son, Crew, after years of dedicating himself fully to the sport.
