Jena Sims loves to see it.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit hopeful, 34, was cheering from home on Tuesday as U.S. Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson announced that her husband, LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, is one of his six picks to round out the 12-man roster for the 2023 Ryder Cup, which will take place from Sept. 29 through Oct. 1 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club outside of Rome.
“Closest we will ever be to feeling like the NFL draft,” Sims wrote over an Instagram Story, adding two laughing emojis. “@rydercupusa let’s go!!”

Sims, who welcomed son Crew with Koepka, 33, last month, also reposted a photo of her husband and Johnson’s five other picks: Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, Rickie Fowler and Sam Burns.
They will join world No.1 Scottie Scherffler, 2020 U.S. Open winner Wyndham Clark, Max Homa, Patrick Cantlay, Brian Harman and Xander Schauffele, who were initially confirmed after last weekend’s BMW Championship.
“See u in Italy,” Sims wrote in a separate post, where she included emojis such as a wine glass, pizza slice, spaghetti plate and a hole-in-one.

Sims also shared throwback photos with the U.S. team that won the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.
“Congrats to the Captain’s picks and all the team members,” she wrote, including a photo of her and Koepka sharing a kiss after the Americans defeated Europe with a record 19-9 victory.
“Can’t wait to be a part of this magical experience and rep USA!”

Another photo featured the couple posing with the 2021 Ryder Cup team and their significant others.
Additionally, Sims posted a throwback photo of Thomas holding the Ryder Cup trophy while wearing a T-shirt that featured Koepka and fellow LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau on the front.
The shirts, which were worn by the American team after their 2021 win, was a nod to the 2008 comedy “Step Brothers,” and showed Koepka and DeChambeau spoofing the on-screen siblings, Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly.

Tuesday’s Ryder Cup reveal came days after Sims appeared to hint at Koepka’s involvement in an Instagram Story posted over the weekend.
The model shared a photo of Koepka holding an American flag plate with a slice of pizza on it and Italian flag emojis.
“Foreshadowing?” she wrote over the snapshot, adding two crying-laughing emojis. “IYKYK [If you know, you know].”

Koepka’s return to the Ryder Cup was up in the air after he fell from sixth to seventh in the Ryder Cup standings following the BMW Championship this month.
The sixth spot is an automatic qualifying spot while the seventh is not.
Koepka — who left the PGA Tour for the Saudi-funded LIV Golf in June 2022 — won his fifth major at the PGA Championship in May and finished tied for second at The Masters in April.

In three previous Ryder Cup appearances, Koepka has a 6-5-1 record, including 2-0-1 in Sunday singles.
The LIV Golf star is currently healthy after he underwent knee surgery to deal with a kneecap dislocation and ligament damage sustained in 2021.
