The 2023 PGA Championships saw both the highs and lows a player can go through. While several big stars failed to make the impact they were hoped off, some passed out with flying colors. LIV Golf’s Brooks Koepka return back to winning ways as he came out on top at the tournament. This marked this third triumph at the Oak Hill tournament and this first since 2019. This year, the total prize purse was increased by $2.5 million, taking the grand total to $17.5 million.
The second day of the tournament saw rain play a major part as well. Many would argue this played an important factor in who would come out on top. While Koepka took away the top prize of $3.1 million and the trophy, Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland were tied for second, two strokes behind him and so had to settle with the joint second place finish and prize of $1.8 million.
“I’ll be honest, I don’t think I dreamed of it as a kid that I was going to win this many,” a joyous Koepka spoke about his triumph. While winning the tournament, he found his name in history books. He became just the third player after golf greats Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus, to win this competition on three separate occasions.

The 2023 PGA Championship event saw Brooks Koepka script history. The LIV Golfer won his fifth major title and became the first to win a major championship while representing the Saudi-backed league. He carded 3-under-67 in the final round. This helped him finish ahead of Viktor Hovland and finish the event with minus-nine.
Even before the tournament became, the hype for it was unmeasurable. This turned out to be a better ending for Koepka after the disappointing turn of events at The Masters cost him the championship.
