LIV Golf League: Brooks Koepka edges Jon Rahm in play-off to win LIV Golf Greenbrier
Brooks Koepka claimed his second LIV Golf League win of the season after beating Jon Rahm in a play-off to claim a dramatic victory at the LIV Golf Greenbrier.
Koepka posted a bogey-free 63 on the final day at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, including three consecutive birdies, to finish on 19 under alongside overnight leader Rahm.
Rahm birdied two of his last three holes to match Koepka’s clubhouse total and force the play-off, where the Spaniard made a bogey to allow Koepka’s par to be enough for his fifth LIV Golf League title.

Jason Kokrak finished a shot back in third while Richard Bland, a two-time senior major champion this season, missed out on making it a three-way play-off when a final-hole bogey dropped him into fourth spot.
Koepka hit his tee shot within 25 feet from the flag as Rahm’s finished in the back bunker, with the five-time major champion then two-putting for a winning par as Rahm failed to get up and down to extend the contest.
