Last month at the PGA Championship Brooks Koepka added more controversy to professional golf by winning the Wanamaker Cup. It was his third PGA Championship win and fifth major championship victory. Koepka also held the 54-hole lead at the Masters in April eventually finishing runner-up behind Jon Rahm. The PGA win places Koepka in some very exclusive company. Only 11 golfers in history have won more majors than he has. Plus, at the age of 33, he may very well win more. His spot in the World Golf Hall of Fame is secure, but what will his legacy in the game be? LIV’s Brooks Koepka’s PGA Championship Victory Creates More Controversy When faced with a knee injury that prevented him from playing his best, he opted to take the guaranteed money from the upstart Saudi-backed LIV Series.

The win guarantees he will be exempt into the four major championships for the next five years, plus it moves him to No. 13 on the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), even though he does not earn OWGR points when he competes in LIV events.
