“I definitely think it helps LIV" - Brooks Koepka on his victory at the 2023 PGA Championship
Brooks Koepka now has three PGA Championships and two US Open titles. Koepka became the first LIV golfer to win a major tournament and believed that his victory will help the newly formed series.
In conversation with the media, he said:
“I definitely think it helps LIV. But I'm more interested in my own self right now, to be honest with you. Yeah, it's a huge thing for LIV. But at the same time, I'm out here competing as an individual at the PGA Championship. I'm just happy to take this home for a third time.
“I think this one is probably the most meaningful of them all with everything that's gone on, all the crazy stuff over the last few years. But it feels good to be back and to get No. 5," he added.
Brooks Koepka's wife Jena Sims missed the tournament because she was in Miami for the final session of a fashion event. He went on to talk about his wife, saying:
“I called my wife, and that’s it. That’s the only person I’m really interested in talking to. This is probably the sweetest one of them all just because of all the hard work that had to go into this one. It’s special.”
Viktor Hovland, who finished second at the 2023 PGA Championship, also appreciated Koepka:
“Brooks is a great player, and now he has five majors. I mean, that’s a hell of a record right there. It’s not easy going toe-to-toe with a guy like that. He is not going to give you anything, and I didn’t really feel like I gave him anything either until 16.”
