The Koepka-Harmon partnership began in 2013 and saw tremendous success, including four Major wins between 2017 and 2019, during which Koepka reached World No. 1 four times. Their first split occurred in 2020, after which Koepka's form declined despite winning the 2021 WM Phoenix Open.
After joining LIV Golf in 2022, Koepka reunited with Harmon and quickly found success, winning his first LIV Golf title in Jeddah. Their renewed partnership led to further achievements, including Koepka's fifth Major victory at the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill.
