Seminole Brooks Koepka notches fifth major win at 2023 PGA Championship

Brooks Koepka is winning again, in a major way. The former Florida State Seminole claimed his fifth career major title at the 2023 PGA Championship on Sunday at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, NY. It is also his third PGA Championship title and first major win since 2019. He joins Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the only three-time winners of the Wanamaker Trophy.

The Florida State alum spent 2009-2012 with the Florida State golf program. He was a four-year letterman and three-year All-ACC member. He was the 2012 ACC Player of the Year and the Co-Player of the year in 2010. He was also the Freshman of the year in 2009. Florida State Men’s Golf now owns nine Major wins by its Alumni, with Koepka leading the way with five, followed by two from Hubert Green, one from Jeff Sluman and one from Paul Azinger. Of the program’s nine major wins, six have come at the PGA Championship.
