Brooks Koepka: from overlooked to major champ and the next Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods is back to winning majors, but it is a once-overlooked amateur who appears to be in a position to become the heir to Tiger’s throne as this generation’s most dominant golfer.

Brooks Koepka defended his PGA Championship at Bethpage Black and has now won four majors in less than two years, including three of the last five, a run we haven’t seen since Tiger at his peak. While Koepka may never be as good as Tiger was, he looks poised to dominate the way Tiger did.

But it wasn’t always that way. Koepka was often overlooked as an amateur and early in his pro career while several of his contemporaries received all of the headlines and accolades.

Below we take a look at Koepka’s incredible journey to the top of the golf world.
