This has been achieved due to his excellent performance in the tournaments of Orlando and Singapore, in April.

About the team competition, in which 12 teams compete, his best result of the season is the second place also achieved in Orlando.

As for the PGA Tour, his only participation of the season has been the Masters Tournament in April, where he had a brilliant performance. There he took second place, tied with another star of the LIV Tour, Phil Mickelson. Both were four strokes behind the champion, Jon Rahm.

Undoubtedly, being expecting his first child has rounded out a great year for Brooks Koepka and his family.
