Six weeks after squandering a final-round lead at the Masters, Brooks Koepka made the most of his second chance with a PGA Championship triumph on Sunday to claim his fifth major, something that seemed unlikely when he joined LIV Golf last year after injuries sidetracked his career.

Koepka, who endured a two-year stretch where he was plagued by injuries and underwent multiple knee surgeries, which played a role in his decision to join LIV Golf last June, made no secret about where his latest triumph ranks.

¡°This one is probably the most meaningful of them all with everything that¡¯s gone on, all the crazy stuff over the last few years,¡± said Koepka, who is the first player to win a major championship while a member of LIV Golf.
