Brooks Koepka is one of the biggest names in golf, shooting to fame with a scintillating run at the Majors from 2017 to 2019. The American tuned pro in 2012, opting to begin his career in Europe until earning his PGA Tour card for the 2014/15 season.
From there, he went from strength to strength, before establishing himself as the game’s dominant force. It’s often said a golfer’s career is judged on how many Majors they win, so how many does Koepka have?
How Many Majors Has Brooks Koepka Won?
Koepka has won four Majors, all in a remarkable three-year run in which he established himself as the best player in the world. He captured his first Major at the 2017 US Open at Erin Hills.
It was an unusually low-scoring affair at America’s national championship, as a final-round 67 saw Koepka come from one behind to claim a four-shot victory over Brian Harman and Hideki Matsuyama. Incredibly, he would win his second Major at the 2018 US Open at Shinnecock Hills, becoming the first player to defend his title since Curtis Strange in 1989.
Koepka wouldn’t have to wait long for his third Major, holding off a certain Tiger Woods less than two months later to win the PGA Championship at Bellerive Country Club.
His then survived a late scare in 2019 to successfully defend his PGA Championship at Bethpage Black and capture his fourth and most recent Major.
