15 photos of Brooks Koepka through the years


The first eight years of Brooks Koepka’s pro golf career were as charmed as any the spot has seen.

Koepka rose quickly to the top of the world rankings in 2018 just four years after joining the PGA Tour. He won four majors in three years with the 2017 U.S. Open, 2018 U.S. Open, 2018 PGA Championship and 2019 PGA Championship. He reigned as the No. 1 player in golf for 47 weeks.

And as just 32 years old, it’s unclear if he’ll ever get back to that level.

Currently suspended by the PGA Tour for defecting to the Saudi-backed LIV Golf league, Koepka is now ranked 118th in the world and has made it clear he’s unsure how to fix his game.

In 2022 he missed the cut at both the Masters and The Open while finishing in 55th place at both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open. If one of the most feared golfers in the sport can turn things around there should be plenty of more major titles in his future.
