“I texted him congratulations on another great finish, and I said 'hey dude, you mind if I tag along and play a practice round'? I've heard nothing,” Woods said.
Koepka gave a simple reason for snubbing woods: He doesn’t practice.

“I just practice before the majors,” he said. “Regular tournaments I don't practice. If you've seen me on TV, that’s when I play golf.”

Koepka starts his day with an 8:04 a.m. ET tee time. Woods will start his first round at 10:10 a.m. ET.
