Brooks Koepka (/ˈkɛpkə/ KEP-kə; born May 3, 1990) is an American professional golfer who currently plays on the LIV Golf League. He formerly played on the PGA Tour and has won five major championships, the PGA Championship three times (2018, 2019, 2023) and the U.S. Open twice (2017, 2018).
In 2012, Koepka turned professional but failed to qualify for the PGA Tour. He decided to play in Europe where he had success, winning the 2014 Turkish Airlines Open and earning the European Tour's Rookie of the Year honors. The following year he won his first PGA Tour event, the Phoenix Open. Two years later, in 2017, Koepka won the U.S. Open, his first major championship. This spearheaded one of the greatest streaks in major championship history as Koepka ultimately won four major championships between 2017 and 2019. In 2022, Koepka joined LIV Golf where he has continued with success, winning several tournaments.
