He made history, becoming the first golfer in USF history to average less than a par all year. He became a ranked 12th holder and won two tournaments. 2014 brought more achievements, but this time around, more as a team.

Bob Koepka, the father of two golfers, didn’t like one bit where this was heading. If his one son earned all the acclaim, his other son struggled.

Since joining, LIV Golf, the two brothers have become much closer in their relationship. They were not only playing in the same tour but in the same team, Smash GC. 

There was a time when Chase rescinded spending much time around Brooks because of constant comparison. But now he no longer feels insecure as he is slowly but surely making a name for himself.
