LISTEN: Walking with Brooks Koepka’s girlfriend Jena Sims at the 2019 PGA Championship

May 21, 2019

What was it like to watch the PGA Championship alongside Brooks Koepka’s girlfriend Jena Sims? GOLF’s Jessica Marksbury got that opportunity on Saturday at Bethpage Black.

Marksbury joins Dylan Dethier on this episode of the GOLF.com Podcast to give some behind-the-scenes insight into Team Koepka and the action at Bethpage Black.

As Koepka continued to build his massive lead during Saturday’s third round, Marksbury caught up with Sims. She heard about Sims’ rise to stardom (“Now I think [fans] are aware of who I am”) her personality (“I’m quirky and weird”) and her on-course presence (“I’m so not discreet”).

Sims, Koepka’s girlfriend of two-plus years, is used to the spotlight. She’s a working model and an actress with more than 136,000 Instagram followers and was actually a day late to the PGA because she was on a commercial shoot in Florida.

Sims has also founded a nonprofit, Pageant of Hope, whose mission is “to empower, celebrate and advocate for children facing challenges, celebrating inner beauty and self confidence.”
