Jena Sims Named Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie

Jena Sims has taken her Instagram influencing to the next level.

Sims, who is married to golf superstar Brooks Koepka, revealed Friday that she'd garnered enough votes to be a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit rookie in the 2024 issue.

Her husband is one of the best golfers on the planet, she has a growing Instagram presence, boasts nearly 300,000 followers and will now appear in the next SI Swimsuit issue.

I'm not an expert, but I believe that's what kids like to call winning.......winning at a very high level, that is.

It doesn't take a genius to know that appearing in SI Swimsuit can be a major boost to a woman's career in modeling and on Instagram.

Even though the publication has gone woke in recent years with decisions that include transgender women and Megan Rapinoe, it's still the standard when it comes to swimsuit content.

Nobody has more name brand recognition in that sphere than Sports Illustrated, and Sims is now part of the team.

She's just one of many women whose public profile could explode after appearing in the issue. The list is very long and includes Paige VanZant, Olivia Dunne, Brooks Nader, Camille Kostek, Hailey Clauson, Nina Agdal and Alex Morgan are just a few examples that jump out. The most famous of all might be Kate Upton.

Now, Jena Sims is joining an all-ready stacked roster of famous women over the years. I might not be a genius (trust me, your emails to David.Hookstead@outkick.com remind me of that on a daily basis), but I do know a little something about the content game.
