Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka wins LIV Golf Orlando

Smash GC Captain Brooks Koepka shot a final round 68, for a 54 hole total of 15 under par to win the $25 million LIV Golf – Orlando individual trophy while Torque GC claimed its first team title at the 7,275 yards par 71 Orange County National layout.

Koepka’s win, by one stroke over Torque’s Sebastián Muñoz, makes him the first two-time winner in LIV Golf. The four-time major champion won the regular-season finale last year in the Invitational Series in Jeddah. It’s also his first elite pro victory in his home state of Florida.

‘I’ve been playing good for a few weeks,’ Koepka said after his final-round. ‘It just hasn’t really shown on the scorecard, making dumb mistakes. It was nice to come out this week and play mistake-free pretty much.’

‘I knew it was back-and forth between Torque and us, and then Sebastián, I knew where he was the entire time. It helps playing with him, obviously. He battled really hard. .. The fact he just wouldn’t go away was props to him because that’s just competing right there.’

Torque GC Captain Joaquin Niemann, who overhauled his roster during the off season to add new LIV players Muñoz and Mito Pereira while bringing in LIV free agent David Puig, was happy to get the team title in just their third start with the new line-up. Torque’s Spanish-speaking four-man roster is the youngest in the LIV Golf League.

‘It’s pretty awesome,’ Niemann said. ‘… The chemistry between the four of us is pretty good since day one. All the practice rounds, the games we do, it’s pretty easy for the four of us to hang out together. I think we knew we could win since the first week. It just came a little bit later than we thought, actually.’

Koepka and 17 other LIV players now travel to Augusta for The Masters that starts on Thursday.
