Brooks Koepka is the all-time PGA Championship money leader. But this other PGA money milestone is even more mind-boggling
Of Brooks Koepka's nine PGA Tour wins, five are majors. Not suprisingly then, the percentage of his PGA Tour career money earned in majors is staggering
Before jumping to LIV Golf (and then making his return to the PGA Tour this season) Brooks Koepka was known as major championship maestro. Of his eight PGA Tour titles claimed prior to 2022, four were of the major variety. He then claimed a fifth at the 2023 PGA Championship while playing for LIV.
Not surprisingly, then, you’ll find that the bulk of Koepka’s career PGA Tour earnings has come at majors. All told, Koepka has made a little more than $45 million on course in PGA Tour events. Of that, $23.
3 million has come specifically in golf’s big four events. With Koepka having won the Wanamaker Trophy three times, it shouldn’t be surprising as well that Koepka is the all-time leading money earn in PGA Championship history. In 13 career starts in the event, the 36-year-old has made $9.
456 million. By comparison, three-time PGA winner Tiger Woods is in second place, trailing Koepka by more than $2 million. More interestingly, perhaps, is the fact that roughly 21 percent of Koepka’s PGA Tour career earnings have come in this one event.
