Brooks Koepka was again in the winning pole.
The LIV golfer is the winner of the PGA Championship 105 with a score of 9 under final par, beating Viktor Hovland and Scottie Scheffler by two strokes. Koepka got off to a roaring start Sunday and never let up, fending off late challenges from Hovland and Scheffler.
It is Kupka’s first major win since 2019 and a heavy weight on his shoulders after he was unable to maintain a two-stroke lead at the Masters in April. It is also the first major win for LIV Golf League players. Koepka celebrated his fifth major win with a reference to Luniz’s 1995 song “I Got 5 on It”.

What a PGA Championship at Oak Hill. The course, setting, crowd, and volunteers were absolutely the best. What an inspiring play by Brooks to win his third and fifth majors. Michael Block steals the hearts of all golf enthusiasts with his performance and his one-hole intellect. Wonderful week.
