MIAMI (AFP) – Brooks Koepka warmed up for next week’s Masters with the second LIV Golf title of his career on Sunday after clinching a two-shot victory in the Orlando.
Four-time major champion Koepka fired a closing three-under 68 to claim the win at Orlando’s Orange County National Course.
The American rattled in four birdies and one bogey to finish on 15 under and pocket the USD4 million winner’s prize – USD1.3 million more than the winner of next week’s first major of 2023 at Augusta will receive.
“I’m finally healthy and it’s good to play some good golf,” said Koepka, who has struggled with a litany of injuries in recent seasons. It gives me chills thinking of the capabilities of what I can do when I’m healthy. Going into next week that’s what you want to see.”
Koepka is the first player on the LIV Golf circuit to win two events, with his Orlando victory following on from his win at the inaugural season finale in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia last October.
