Idk he just won the last one and got 2nd in the one before that. Wouldn’t be crazy, or at least, much crazier than what has already happened.


How much longer though can he really compete at this level? He's 43, and his back isn't going to get better. He probably has to do it in the next two or three years at the most.
Be Bold!

I'd far prefer him or Rickie to goddamn Koepka again though.

Why do people hate Koepka? Why was Tiger winning all the majors great for golf but Koepka winning all the majors the worst?

Cause he's kinda boring. Tiger was a creation of god and man designed to win everything he enters.

Koepka seems like a bro who wakes up so often and decides to win a golf tournament. I mean, he's obviously really goddamn good but there's nothing to the guy. Tiger is well, Tiger. Also makes me mad DJ hasn't done this with his talent.

DJ has had a lot of chances and threw up all over himself. Koepka is a closer for the most part. Doesn't get rattled.

The golf purists don't like him because it doesn't appear he has any strategy on the course other than his insane length keeping him in play on every non par 3. It means a ton of birdies.

And he's only won 2 non-majors in his career. And every course has been 7,200 yards or longer.

I will admit that other than Happy Gilmore and maybe John Daly, I don't see much/any difference between exciting golfer and a boring one. Lowest score wins and I guess I'm not nuanced enough to recognize any significant difference between how you get the lowest score. Saying he only wins the majors is like saying Cris Carter only catches touchdowns to me.
