Golfer Brooks Koepka: Career Highlights and Major Wins
27 October, 2026Logan Hart0 Comments1 category
Brooks Koepka has won five majors: the 2017 and 2018 U.S. Opens, and the 2018, 2019 and 2023 PGA Championships. He has not won The Open or the Masters. The American also has nine PGA Tour wins, seven DP World Tour wins and several LIV Golf titles, and he left LIV after the 2025 season. Here is the golfer Brooks Koepka’s record in one place, plus what a club golfer can steal from how he plays the big weeks.
Every Major Win, Year by Year
The two U.S. Opens came back to back, and the three PGA Championships came in 2018, 2019 and 2023. Keep those two groups apart and you will not mix them up.

Won by four shots on 16 under, equalling the tournament record
Five majors puts him among only 21 men in history with at least that many. His 264 at Bellerive matched the then major scoring record set by Henrik Stenson at Royal Troon in 2016.
The Near Misses
He came close to more. In 2019 he was runner-up at both the Masters and the U.S. Open, and he tied fourth at The Open at Royal Portrush. In 2021 he was second at the PGA. In 2023 he led the Masters for a long stretch before Jon Rahm overtook him in the final round.
Why He Is Called a Big-Game Player
Koepka’s results show a clear pattern: he peaks for majors. Across the PGA Championship alone he has six top-five finishes, and he has won it three times.
What His Approach Looks Like
He plays majors like a patient attacker. Courses are long, rough is thick and greens are firm, so pars win holes. He hits driver hard, takes his birdies when wedges are in hand, and does not chase pins that punish a miss.
The Lesson for Club Golfers
Treat your own big day, a club championship or a captain’s day, the way he treats a major:
Pick your target side of each green before you take the club out.
Play to the fat part of the fairway, not the tightest line.
Take your medicine from trouble and accept bogey over a double.
Save aggressive shots for holes where a miss is safe.
Rest and eat properly the night before. He builds his weeks around being fresh.

The Wider Career: Tours and Injuries
His nine PGA Tour wins are not his full tally. Add seven DP World Tour wins (the European circuit) and his LIV victories, and his professional total is well above nine. Quote the right number for the right tour.
Injuries slowed him. Knee problems cost him time before his 2023 PGA win, which made that victory a proper comeback. Missing events is part of why his form between majors has looked patchy.
LIV Golf Exit and Where He Stands in 2026
Koepka signed with LIV Golf in 2022 and won five times in his first three years there. 2025 was harder: two top-10s, 31st in the points race and three missed cuts in four majors. In December 2025 he agreed with LIV to leave after that season, saying he wanted more time at home with his family. His Smash GC team passed to Talor Gooch.
So no, he is not on LIV any more. He is exempt into the PGA Championship for life and into the other three majors through 2028. In 2026 he returned to PGA Tour events, including the Wyndham Championship, but later spoke of his disappointment at missing the FedExCup Playoffs. He also played the Alfred Dunhill Links in Scotland, finishing within a few shots of the lead after round two.
