WM PHOENIX OPEN 2022
ON THE CLOCK
BROOKS KOEPKA Four-time Major Champion and two-time (and defending) WM Phoenix Open winner Brooks Koepka is in the business of making headlines in addition to hoisting trophies. But that doesn’t mean everyone knows everything there is to know about one of the most popular players on the PGA TOUR. Michael Golding, 2022 WM Phoenix Open Tournament Chairman, sat down with Koepka via Zoom to get a little more information on the titan of the teebox – rapid-fire style.

Green Bay Packers FAVORITE MAJOR WIN?
The last one – so the 2019 PGA Championship at Bethpage Black WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE NON-MAJOR AND WHY IS IT THE WM PHOENIX OPEN?
Well there's two of them, I guess you'd say WM is pretty good! It was my first PGA tour win and the last one as well. Just very, very satisfying. Both of them. MICHAEL GOLDING: FAVORITE CLUB IN THE BAG?

WHAT WOULD YOUR WALK-UP SONG BE AT THE FAMED 16TH HOLE?
Oh wow. I’m not sure. It would probably be Drake. Lately I don't know somehow got back on Macklemore. I just found out today he’s playing at the Birds Nest this year. Crazy! IF YOU COULD PLAY ANOTHER SPORT PROFESSIONALLY WHAT WOULD BE?
Probably baseball. I’d be stuck in the minors, if that!
BEST SHOT YOU'VE HIT ON THE 16TH HOLE.
I think the first time coming down the stretch in 2015, I actually hit the center of the green and I thought that was a pretty good accomplishment. WHAT IS THE LOUDER HOLE? 16TH AT TPC SCOTTSDALE OR 17 AT SAWGRASS?
16 by a mile. It’s not really a comparison. Not even close!
