Fianlly A Win For LIV: Brooks Koepka makes history with 3rd PGA Championship win

American Brooks Koepka joins Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the third player to become a three-time winner of the PGA Championship.

The LIV Tour player and previous four-time major champion held a 54-hole lead, fending off PGA Tour players Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler.

Koepka finished on a score of -9, posting a final round score of 67, beating Hovland and Scheffler by two shots, finishing on -7.

His victory at Oak Hill created history, becoming the first LIV Golf player to win a major championship. The win is sure to be a boost for the Saudi-backed competition, proving that defectors can still deliver at the majors despite playing in an arguably weaker competition.

The now five-time major winner produced seven birdies, including three in a row in the first four holes.

Koepka's win comes a month after narrowly missing out on The Masters' glory to Spaniard John Rahm, losing by four shots after leading the final round.

After yesterday's victory in the PGA Championship, let's look at Brooks Koepka's major championship victories.

Brooks Koepka won his first major championship at the Erin Hills Golf Club in 2017, securing the US Open by four strokes, beating Brian Harmen and Hideki Matsuyama.

The American's score of -16 (67, 70, 68, 67) is the joint lowest score in US Open history, tying with Rory McIlroy's score when he won the event in 2011.

After securing his first major title at the US Open in 2017, Brooks Koepka became the first player since Curtis Strange in 1989 to win consecutive US Open titles.

Brooks Koepka won the championship, scoring one over par across the four rounds, beating Tommy Fleetwood by one stroke on the final day.

Koepka won his first of three PGA Championships in 2018, becoming the first player since Tiger Woods in 2000 to win the US Open and PGA title in one season.

The American shot -16 across the four rounds, securing the title by two strokes, stopping Tiger Woods from having a fairy-tale return to major tournaments, and finishing second.

The elite golfer continued to dominate the golfing world in 2019, again defending another major, securing the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019.

Koepka clinched the title with a score of -8, regaining his spot as the number one player in the world rankings and securing his second PGA Tour of America Player of the Year award.

After numerous injury problems and a move to the controversial LIV Golf Tour, four years after his last major victory, Koepka won the 2023 PGA Championship.
