Brooks Koepka was the big surprise of the 2023 PGA Championship, no one expected him to win the third round on Saturday May 20, but surprisingly he placed at T1 with -6th par. Also, he is a LIV Golfer which adds spice to his new title.
Another big favorite during the tournament was Corey Conners who led the second round and was close to the first spot during the first second, but that wasn’t enough.
Koekpa has three PGA Championship titles, the first was in 2018, then a back-to-back during the 2019 edition and finally the 2023 title where he was not a big favorite.
