'Major Hunter' Kepka Becomes First Multiple Winner in LIV Golf
2023 Season 3rd Tournament Victory
Second Overall Title Following Last Year's Final
Prize Money of 5.7 Billion KRW Including Individual and Team Events
Brooks Koepka (USA) became the first multiple winner in LIV Golf, sponsored by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF).
Koepka shot 3-under 68 with four birdies and one bogey in the final round of the third event of the LIV Golf 2023 season (total prize money $25 million), held on the 3rd at Orange County National (par 71, 7,248 yards) in Orlando, Florida, USA, finishing with a total score of 15-under 198 to claim victory. He edged out Sebastian Mu?oz (Colombia) by one stroke for second place.
This is his second LIV Golf title, following his win at the final seventh event of the LIV Series held last October in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Koepka is the first player to win two individual titles since the LIV Series launched in June last year. He earned $4 million for the individual victory and an additional $375,000, which is 25% of the team event runner-up prize, totaling $4,375,000 (approximately 5.73 billion KRW) in prize money.
