‘Greatest Player in Majors in the Last 15 Years’: PGA Tour Veteran Puts Brooks Koepka Above Tiger Woods or Anyone Else After His Historic PGA Championship Triumph

The whole golf world is out there celebrating! And why wouldn’t it? After all, the second major of the season has concluded, and Brooks Koepka has emerged victorious in a glorifying manner! He has gone on to show that everything finally comes down to the sport itself. The 33-year-old displayed a great game of golf during the final round at Oak Hill Country Club.

Wishes and congratulations must be pouring in for the winner from everywhere. Now, having grabbed his fifth major win, Koepka earns the congratulations of numerous pro golfers.

Brooks Koepka receives high praise

Keopka’s recent feat in Rochester has become the talk of the town, and it will arguably remain so for the coming years. After all, his win shows that LIV golfers arguably deserve to be counted when looking at the top talents in the sport! Just moments after the golfer’s marvelous triumph in the year’s second major tournament, PGA Tour veteran Billy Horschel congratulated him and sang high praises for him!

Horschel complimented the 5-time major champion on Twitter and wrote, “Greatest player in Majors in the last 15 years! Congrats to @BKoepka on his 5th Major! Awesome job buddy!”

While Horschel’s “greatest player” may have undoubtedly stirred up controversy by placing Koepka above the likes of Tiger Woods and other stars, perhaps there is some truth to it. After all, in the last 15 years, the 15-time major winner has just won a major, while the LIV golfer has just picked up his fifth!

Moreover, his most recent victory was even more special because it crowned Koepka as the first golfer to win three major tournaments on three different courses in New York, something that not even Tiger Woods or Jack Nicklaus have achieved in their remarkable careers.
