NEW YORK _ Brooks Koepka will arrive at Bethpage for the PGA Championship this May with two titles to defend. He holds the PGA Championship's Wanamaker Trophy, having won the 2018 season's final major in St. Louis last August, and he is the king of Long Island, having won the U.S. Open at Shinnecock Hills last June.
That speaks volumes about the golfer Koepka has become, and the one he wants to continue being. When the three-time major champion was asked how many Grand Slam titles he would ultimately like to win, he said, "Why limit it?"
He is aiming high, doubling down on his intense workout regimen. And he is thrilled that the PGA Championship is being played for the first time on Bethpage Black. "It's an incredibly difficult golf course, it's hard to even think it's a public golf course sometimes," he said, mindful that he has played there only once, and finished 7 over par during The Barclays in 2016. "I feel bad for the guys who have to play that course day in and day out. But it's fun to play, it really is."
