2023 PGA Championship winner Brooks Koepka believes he can win 12 Major tournaments in his career. The golfer has been in incredible form lately, and he won the fifth Major of his career earlier this year. However, he has now said he wants to take his Major tally count to double digits.
On a recent episode of the Fore Play Podcast, Koepka spoke about his chances of winning more Majors. The American said he's blown opportunities to beat six-time Major champion Phil Mickelson and 15-time Major champion Tiger Woods.
The NUCLR Golf shared a short clip of the podcast on its X account with a caption saying:
"Brooks Koepka says he believes he can win 12 majors. Do you agree? Says he’s 'blown' opportunities to Phil, Tiger among others."

Fans jumped into the comments section to take a jibe at the LIV golfer, saying sarcastically that he 'gifted' 15 Major titles to Tiger Woods. One user wrote:
"It’s true he gifted 15 to Tiger."
"Gave him 15?! Just when I thought he couldn’t be any more unlikeable," wrote another fan.
"12 major agianst the current field in golf when he’s already what 33 34? Yeah good luck," yet someone commented.

Later that year, Brooks Koepka won the PGA Championship, defeating Tiger Woods by two strokes. He played four rounds of 69-63-66-66 to finish with a score of 16-under 264.
