Brooks Koepka: I miss playing against Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler

Brooks Koepka has admitted he misses playing against the likes of Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler every week on the PGA Tour.

Koepka won his second LIV Golf title on Sunday, beating Sebastián Muñoz by one shot to win in Orlando.

The four-time Major champion now heads to Augusta with huge confidence and is relishing the challenge of teeing it up alongside the world’s best again.

“I’m looking forward to it,” said Koepka. “Just to see everybody and compete against them.

“At the end of the day, I’ll be honest, I do miss playing against Rory, I do miss playing against Scottie and I’m sure they miss playing against us as well.

“That’s a fact; you always want to play against the best. That’s going to make Augusta even more special.”

Despite missing the cut at the Masters during the last two years, the American’s still enjoyed success at Augusta.

Back in 2019, the 32-year-old finished in a share of second place and stated he’s confident of going one better this week.

“I’m playing good, and there’s really no better way to go into Augusta than playing good and get a win,” added Koepka.

“I’m very confident. Like where the game is at. Just need to go out and try to rest up for three days, do my usual play nine holes every day and do the homework around these greens, just get a little more adjusted with Augusta.”

The 2023 Masters is set to start Thursday, April 6.
