Brooks Koepka is sitting out the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.<\/p>\n

Last week\u2019s winner is doing the same.<\/p>\n

Koepka announced Sunday after his tie for 14th at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson that he would take a break after three straight starts. Wyndham Clark, who won at TPC Craig Ranch<\/a> with a final-round 60, withdrew on Monday.<\/p>\n

In his return to the Tour this season, Koepka has taken every opportunity to prove himself and previously said, \u201cEvery week is a new fresh start for me, and I\u2019m obviously, with my penalty, I\u2019m not allowed to play every event, and if I get the chance to tee up, I want to play.\u201d But after grinding the last few weeks he withdrew from Colonial on Sunday evening.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old finished T-14 Sunday at the CJ Cup Byron Nelson at TPC Craig Ranch. Prior to that Texas tournament, Koepka played in the PGA Championship outside of Philadelphia at Aronimink Golf Club and finished T-55.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny major is always a difficult week,\u201d Koepka said before Byron Nelson. \u201cIt\u2019s the third week in a row for me, which is usually \u2014-I like playing a little bit, playing a few weeks in a row and kind of build up that momentum, build a rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n

Prior to the PGA, Koepka finished T-11 at the ONEflight Myrtle Beach Classic, so it\u2019s undoubtedly been a busy stretch for the former LIV Golf player.<\/p>\n

Koepka\u2019s withdrawal from this week\u2019s event means he won\u2019t qualify for the Memorial Tournament the first week of June in Dublin, Ohio, the Tour\u2019s seventh signature event of the season. His decision not to play also impacts the alternates in the field at the Charles Schwab. Under the Returning Members Program<\/a>, if Koepka had stayed in the tournament, the field would have expanded from 132 players to 135.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Koepka has committed to the RBC Canadian Open, June 11-14, and then the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills Golf Club the following week. Last time the U.S. Open was played at the Southampton course, Koepka went home with the major trophy.<\/p>\n

So far this season in Koepka\u2019s return to the PGA Tour, he\u2019s played in 11 tournaments and only missed the cut three times, and it\u2019s safe to say, he\u2019s been enjoying the hustle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve kind of fallen back in love with this,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019m enjoying the grind. I\u2019m enjoying battling it out here.\u201d<\/p>\n
