The city of Palm Beach Gardens is suitably named, as it is comprised of 30 percent flourishing greenery. Located seven miles north of West Palm Beach, Palm Beach Gardens is known for its excellent shopping, dining, and entertainment opportunities at the Gardens Mall, Downtown at the Gardens, and Legacy Place. Boating and fishing are plentiful, as are beautiful luxurious waterfront homes, some even sitting directly on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, if not the Intracoastal Waterway.

Born and raised in Wellington and now living in Palm Beach Gardens, the 23 year old Koepka will get to compete in his hometown event for the first time in his career. A standout at Cardinal Newman and Florida State, Koepka served as a stadard-bearer at the Honda Classic for years during his junior golf days.
