The Major Specialist
Brooks Koepka's relationship with major championships is unlike any other modern player. He has described himself as someone who "turns it on" for majors — and the record bears this out. Between 2017 and 2019, Koepka won 4 of a possible 8 major championships, a dominance rate that rivals Tiger Woods at his peak.
What makes his record particularly remarkable is the back-to-back achievements. Winning consecutive US Opens (2017-18) and consecutive PGA Championships (2018-19) required sustaining elite performance for two full years of the sport's biggest events. No player in the modern era had done it even once; Koepka did it twice.
2023 PGA Championship: LIV Player Wins Major
After joining LIV Golf in 2022, many wondered if Koepka's competitive edge would diminish. He answered emphatically at Oak Hill in 2023, winning his fifth major and becoming the first LIV Golf player to win a major since the tour's formation. He held off Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler in a dramatic final round, confirming that LIV players remain major championship threats.
