Brooks Koepka will be eager to emulate Tiger Woods by winning the
PGA Championship back-to-back on two different occasions.
What to know about Koepka
The American star, who plays in the LIV Golf League, formerly played on the PGA Tour and is a former world number one in the Official World Golf Ranking.
Koepka won the US Open in 2017 and 2018, and the PGA Championship in 2018 and 2019, becoming the first golfer in history to hold back-to-back titles in two majors simultaneously.
News
The 2017/18 PGA Tour Player of the Year participated in the 2024 Masters Tournament where he made the cut, but he finished 45th.
McIlroy is currently placed 39th on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR) and he was the world number one for 47 weeks after winning the 2018 CJ Cup.
Why Koepka is among the favourites
Koepka, who is the 2022/23 MENA Tour Order of Merit winner, has won the PGA Championship on three occasions in 2018, 2019 and 2023.
The 34-year-old finished at nine under for the tournament to win the 2023 PGA Championship - becoming the first LIV Golf player to win a major championship.
Quotes
“I still feel like I can win majors, I still feel like I can be one of, if not the, best player in the world,” Koepka said about winning the PGA Championship
“You know, just gotta get my golf swing doing what I want it to do and just gotta get healthy again.
“This is probably the sweetest one of them all because of all the hard work that went into this one, this one (2023 PGA title) is definitely special. This one is probably it for me.”
