The Koepka brothers are on two different sides of the spectrum after their gameplay at the LIV Golf Jeddah. While Brooks Koepka has walked off the greens with a fat purse of $4 million, brother Chase Koepka has walked off with not even half of what Brooksie has made. 

Both the brothers had the spotlight on the greens for different reasons, and after Brooks’ win and Chase’s relegation, the curiosity about how much Chase has made from his LIV Golf journey has increased. Let’s dive deeper into it.

To say less, Chase Koepka’s journey in the LIV Golf League has been a rollercoaster ride full of ups and downs, ranging from commendable feats to disheartening setbacks. Prior to his relegation from LIV, Chase made a total of $6.8 million in on-course earnings, something that could have served as a testament to his skills on the golf course. 

His fate was, however, sealed after his disappointing finish at LIV Jeddah, where he found himself at the bottom of the leaderboard alongside others like Sihwan Kim, James Piot, and Jediah Morgan. 

In total, irrespective of his relegation, Chase has managed to secure a cheque of $12o,ooo for his last-place finish, which actually is nothing but an addition to the millions he has already earned during his term in the breakaway circuit over the span of the past two seasons.

Chase Koepka debuted in 2022, and that is when his initial success came when he earned nearly $4.5 million and showcased his potential with a notable ninth-place finish at LIV Chicago. However, this 2023 season has proven to be a bit of a challenging stretch for the player. In his 13 outings, he failed to break into the top-20, with his best finish being 26th place at LIV Tulsa in May.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that his relegation from the league is definitely a bitter pill to swallow for the 29-year-old golfer.

In contrast to Chase, Brooks Koepka, the five-time major champion, has continued to dominate the LIV golfing scene. He clinched the title at LIV Jeddah, securing a remarkable $4 million win that adds to his total of $13,397,333 made this year. While his victory has showcased his exceptional skills, he hasn’t strayed from stating his mind on his brother’s predicament as well.
