The PGA Tour have just announced the details of Brooks Koepka’s $5 million charity donation.
Koepka agreed to donate millions as part of his return to the PGA Tour from LIV Golf.
The former world number one has now chosen Jack Nicklaus’ foundation as one of the main recipients.
Brooks Koepka’s $5 million charitable contribution
The PGA Tour confirmed on Tuesday that they had worked with Koepka to determine where the money would go.
$1 million will go to the Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation, the primary charity for the Cognizant Classic this week.
$1.5 million will be shared between the following 10 charities: ALS Bridge Foundation, Baby Quest Foundation, Best Buddies, Hannah’s Home of South Florida, Pageant of Hope, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Foundation, Quantum House, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, The Thomas Healy Hambric Foundation – Beyond the Spectrum, UnLIMBited Foundation.
The remaining $2.5 million will be distributed to charities decided by PGA Tour members.
Brooks Koepka set to play in Cognizant Classic this week
Brooks Koepka is the biggest name in the field at the Cognizant Classic this week.
Koepka did not compete at either the Pebble Beach Pro-Am or the Genesis Invitational recently.
He will also not be at Bay Hill for the next Signature Event, the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

With Shane Lowry and Billy Horschel among his toughest competition, Koepka should have a 10th PGA Tour win on his mind.
