Brooks Koepka's Complete Major Championship Victories

Brooks Koepka burst onto the major championship scene in 2017 and quickly established himself as one of the most dominant major performers of his generation. With five major titles, Koepka sits among an elite group of golfers who have won five or more of golf's biggest events.

• 2017 US Open – Erin Hills, Wisconsin (−16, 272)
• 2018 US Open – Shinnecock Hills, New York (+1, 281)
• 2018 PGA Championship – Bellerive Country Club, Missouri (−16, 264)
• 2019 PGA Championship – Bethpage Black, New York (−8, 272)
• 2023 PGA Championship – Oak Hill Country Club, New York (−9, 271)

Back-to-Back US Open Victories

Koepka's consecutive US Open wins in 2017 and 2018 placed him in rare company. His 2017 triumph at Erin Hills saw him post a record-tying 16-under-par total, dominating a course that rewarded power and precision. The following year at Shinnecock Hills, he showed a completely different skill set, grinding out a one-over-par victory on one of the most punishing courses in American golf. The contrast between those two wins — one a birdie-fest and the other a survival test — demonstrated Koepka's remarkable versatility. He became only the seventh player in history to win back-to-back US Opens, joining legends like Tiger Woods, Curtis Strange, and Ben Hogan.

PGA Championship Dominance

Koepka's three PGA Championship victories are particularly impressive. He won back-to-back at Bellerive in 2018 and Bethpage Black in 2019, then added a third title at Oak Hill in 2023. His 2018 PGA win came just weeks after his second US Open victory, meaning he held two major titles simultaneously. At Bethpage Black in 2019, Koepka built a commanding seven-shot lead through 54 holes before holding on for a two-shot victory despite a final-round wobble. His three PGA Championship wins tie him with Tiger Woods and several other legends for most PGA Championship victories in the modern era.

With five major championships, Koepka ranks among the most decorated golfers of his generation. He surpassed Phil Mickelson's modern-era contemporaries and sits alongside some of the greatest names in golf history. Among active players at the time of his fifth win, only Tiger Woods (15 majors) had more. Koepka's five majors put him level with Byron Nelson, Seve Ballesteros, and Peter Thomson on the all-time list. His ability to elevate his game for the four biggest tournaments each year earned him the reputation as golf's ultimate big-game player.

The LIV Golf Move

In 2022, Koepka joined LIV Golf, the Saudi-backed breakaway league. Despite the controversy surrounding his departure from the PGA Tour, he proved that his major championship pedigree was undiminished by winning the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill — his first major after joining LIV. That victory silenced critics who suggested LIV players couldn't compete at the highest level and cemented Koepka's status as one of golf's premier competitors regardless of which tour he called home.

Where Koepka Ranks All-Time

With five major titles, Koepka is tied for 24th on the all-time major championship wins list. He trails Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (15), and Walter Hagen (11) among the all-time leaders, but his five wins before turning 34 suggest he may not be done adding to his total. Koepka's major-to-regular-win ratio is among the most remarkable in golf history, as his major victories represent a significant portion of his overall professional wins — a testament to his ability to peak when it matters most.
