Brooks Koepka now has five major championships with his two-shot win at the PGA Championship.
Brooks Koepka celebrates with the Wanamaker trophy after winning the PGA Championship golf tournament at Oak Hill Country Club on Sunday, May 21, 2023, in Pittsford, N.Y.– Brooks Koepka now has five major championships, remarkable because he only started playing them on a regular basis 10 years ago. Slightly more than a third of his wins on top-level tours around the world have come with the biggest trophies in golf.
“Yeah, it's a huge thing for LIV,” he said. “But at the same time, I'm out here competing as an individual at the PGA Championship. I'm just happy to take this home for a third time.” The crazy stuff is a lot to take in, starting with injuries that have kept him out of the Masters, another that kept him from the Presidents Cup in Australia. He hurt his right knee in 2021 and tried to pop it back in, only to shatter his knee cap in the process."
"If I’m being completely honest, I think it would have been,” he said. “But I’m happy with the decision I made.” It still wasn't easy. Koepka came out firing with three birdies in four holes, only to hit his worst drive on the most penalizing hole at No. 6, well to the right into the same swampy mess that nearly swallowed up Tom Kim in the opening round.
