If there was one takeaway from the Masters last month, it was that Brooks Koepka is still a threat at any major championship. And that's regardless of what logo he's wearing.
Koepka steps back into the golf spotlight this week for the PGA Championship at Oak Hill in Rochester, New York. It's one of only four times a year most get to see him play, unless you're one of theThat doesn't mean fans have forgotten about the man who was once the most feared player to set foot on any major championship venue. He won four majors from 2017-2019, two U.S. Opens and two PGA Championships.
"I feel great. My body feels good. Swinging it the way I want to, moving the way I want to," Koepka said Wednesday, a day before he's set to tee off at Oak Hill."I feel 100%, so there's no reason why — right? I'm 33 now, and I think, what, your prime in golf is from when you are about from 30 to 40," he said."I haven't quite hit the middle of it. But I feel pretty good.
Koepka's decision to join LIV Golf last June meant he revoked his ability to play any regular PGA events. It pretty much means he's playing in relative obscurity, with small galleries and small TV audiences, outside of the four majors. That suits him well as he's said many times his primary focus as always been to win majors.
He came painfully close to earning his fifth major title at the Masters, leading the field after each of the first three rounds before stumbling to a final round of 3-over 75. Jon Rahm caught him from behind on Sunday and won by four strokes.
