Brooks Koepka was the Only LIV Golfer to Accomplish This in 2024
Brooks Koepka may not have won a Major Championship this year, but he has a unique label that he can be proud of.
Koepka is known for the Majors. They’re all that matter to him:
“I think sometimes the Majors are the easiest ones to win. There’s 156 [players] in the field, so you figure at least 80 of them I’m just going to beat. You figure about half of them won’t play well from there, so you’re down to about maybe 35. And then from 35, some of them just – pressure is going to get to them. It only leaves you with a few more, and you’ve just got to beat those guys.”
The thing is, even if he does not win them all the time, Koepka is a mainstay on Major leaderboards. He proved that yet again this year.
Don’t let nerves get to your swing. 💯

Koepka was the only LIV Golfer to make the cut at all four Majors. Even Bryson DeChambeau did not do that, and although he won at Pinehurst and collected his second U.S. Open crown, he did not play well at Royal Troon, which gave Koepka the nod in that category.
Golf Digest initially reported the observation. Koepka won $381,643.22 in those four starts. He failed to register a top 25 in any Major, with his finishes coming as:
- The Masters – T45
- PGA Championship – T26
- U.S. Open – T26
- The Open Championship – T43
Koepka’s last Major win came last year at the PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
