He added that the events of the past year have \u201cplayed a big role\u201d in his PGA Tour comeback this week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have no regrets,\u201d Koepka, who left LIV Golf with one year left on his contract in late 2025, continued. \u201cBut at the same time, I\u2019m excited for this new chapter.

We are devastated, but remain hopeful to give Crew a sibling one day. Too often, these struggles happen in silence. There is still so much work and research needed to better understand and support women\u2019s reproductive health.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sims continued, \u201cIf you\u2019re experiencing or have experienced pregnancy loss or infertility, please know you are not alone. \ud83d\udc94Lastly, I want to recognize the doctors and nurses who must deliver this kind of heartbreaking news every day. It has to be the hardest part of their job, and I\u2019m holding space in my heart for you too.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-caption \">\n<div class=\"ratio-based-placeholder\" style=\"padding-bottom:133.2%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large credit-added wp-image-4235796\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all\" alt=\"GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1332\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=100&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 100w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=200&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=300&amp;quality=70&amp;strip=all 300w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=400&amp;quality=47&amp;strip=all 400w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=500&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 500w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=600&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 600w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=700&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 700w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=800&amp;quality=40&amp;strip=all 800w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=900&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 900w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=1000&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 1000w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=1200&amp;quality=55&amp;strip=all 1200w, https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/GettyImages-2209446304-brooks-koepka-family.jpg?w=1400&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 6em), (max-width: 1000px) 80vw, 1000px\"\/><\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"credit\">Andrew Redington\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Months before the loss, Sims opened up to <em>Us Weekly<\/em> exclusively about parenthood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor so many women, motherhood is their calling and their ultimate goal.
