Brooks Koepka heads to The Masters as a top 10 LIV Golf player, with the American seeking a sixth major championship win.
Koepka will play behind Patrick Cantlay in his opening rounds of The Masters, which is a competition he is yet to win.
The former boasts five major championship wins; three at the PGA Championship and two at the US Open.
Koepka now represents one of 12 LIV Golf players taking on Augusta National this week, earning his place thanks to his 2023 PGA Championship success.
He won nine times on the PGA Tour before his switch to LIV Golf, where he currently occupies 10th place in the individual standings.

The 34-year-old also took on The Masters in 2024, finishing T45 after rounds of 73, 73, 76 and 76 in Georgia.
His ability on the course was on show last year, but so was his fiery personality, with Koepka having been asked in a press conference if 59 was obtainable at Augusta, as per Golf Digest.
Evidently somewhat disgruntled, he responded: “Have you played here?” as his interviewer replied: “Not yet.”
Koepka then said: “I could tell by the question,” before being asked what number is attainable in his mind, being told that 63 is the low.
“I mean, anything is attainable,” replied Koepka. “But yeah, if I want to go play the member’s tees and maybe play like 15 holes, yeah, I could do that.”
What is Brooks Koepka’s history at The Masters?
Koepka is certainly a man for the big stages, but his glittering career does not involve success at Augusta.
The American icon has made nine career starts so far, finishing inside the top seven in three of his last six starts.
| Starts | 9 |
| Best finish | T2 (2019, 2023) |
| Top 10s | 3 |
| Cuts made | 7 |
| Rounds played | 32 |
| Rounds under par | 14 |
| Low round | 65 |
| Scoring average | 71.81 |
He came closest to the green jacket most recently in 2023, when Koepka finished joint-second at Augusta.
Jon Rahm was the winner that year, with Koepka and three-time champion Phil Mickelson finishing four shots behind the Spaniard.
