LIV Golf CEO Greg Norman and fellow players including Phil Mickelson, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter and Kevin Na were quick to congratulate the 2023 PGA Champion Brooks Koepka following his victory at Oak Hill.
The 33-year-old captured his third Wanamaker Trophy and fifth Major title in Rochester, New York, where he defeated new World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland by two strokes.
Koepka was congratulated across social media by various key figures and big names in the game, and the PGA Tour even awkwardly were forced to post about the player who they suspended after he joined rival LIV Golf last year.
Take a look at how social media reacted to Brooks Koepka's PGA Championship victory...

When I saw Brooks last month, he told me he finally felt good after recovering from an injury. Certain players, and there are very few, have that "It" factor and rise to the occasion on the biggest stage. He is one of them and proved it once again. Congrats on No. 5. GP๐ธ @PGA May 22, 2023

Congrats to Brooks for coming back from the despair and angst of possible career ending injury. Hopefully the animosity and anger that exists in golf can somehow be tempered moving forward.May 21, 2023

Brooks Keopka joins Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus & Walter Hagen, Gene Sarazen & Sam Sneed to have won at least 3x PGAs. He also matches James Braid, JH Taylor, Byron Nelson, Peter Thomson & Seve Ballesteros. Heโs greatness. A special kind of talent. #BrooksKoepkaMay 21, 2023

Brooks Koepka is an all-time great. What a unique career. Wasn't good enough to go to Florida. Cut his teeth on the Challenge Tour. Broke through late. Wins 4 majors in 3 years. Loses game, confidence. Injuries. Beefs. LIV. Blows the Masters. Now, BACK. As many majors as Seve.May 21, 2023

Koepka posted a final round of 67 (-3) to reach nine-under-par, beating World No.1 Scottie Scheffler and playing partner Viktor Hovland by two strokes.
It's his first Major title in four years and comes after he has been plagued by injuries. He described this one as the "sweetest".
"This is probably the sweetest one of them all because all the hard work that went into this one, this one is definitely special. This one is probably it for me," he said.
He moves up to 13th in the Official World Golf Ranking.
