Brooks Koepka loves playing golf in Saudi Arabia.
The five-time major champion defended his title at 2023 LIV Golf Jeddah at Royal Greens Golf and Country Club in King Abdullah Economic City with a playoff victory over Talor Gooch, who claimed the lucrative season-long individual title. The win is the third of Koepka’s LIV career and second of the season following his victory in Orlando before the Masters in April.
Harold Varner III finished third at 12 under.
Sergio Garcia’s Fireballs GC claimed the team title in Saudi at 34 under ($3 million), three shots clear of Bubba Watson’s RangeGoats GC ($1.5 million) and five clear of Martin Kaymer’s Cleeks GC ($500,000). The win is the second of the season for the Fireballs.
