LIV Golf Jeddah successfully concluded on Sunday, October 16 with Brooks Koepka clinching the last individual title of the season. However, 54 holes were not enough to notch his win since he squared off with teammate Peter Uihlein as they both finished the final round at 12 under, leading to a playoff.
They matched each other with a birdie on the first two playoff holes. But Koepka sealed his spot the third time as Uihlein hit the third shot from the greenside bunker into the water. Meanwhile, Koepka hit a textbook shot while making a putt to seal his victory at LIV Golf Jeddah and take home the $4 million prize money. This was the first victory since 2021 for the four-time major champion.
"The last two years haven't been fun. It's been a long road," Koepka said, according to ESPN. "I didn't know if my career was over for a half-second. So it's nice to be able to come back and be able to win."
