Chase Koepka joined LIV Golf in 2022 and competed in the event for two years. However, he did not qualify for the 2024 season and had to leave the Saudi-backed circuit.

At the end of the 2023 LIV Golf season, his big brother Brooks Koepka said that even though Chase was working hard, he was struggling a little bit.

"I know he's working hard," Brooks Koepka said via the Mirror. "I know he's been trying. We've been practicing together quite a bit. Honestly, he's struggling a little bit."

Hence, after going through a downfall, this will come as a boost and proud moment for the Koepka brothers and they will cherish this moment for a long time.
