20/1 Koepka confident ahead of TPC - (2026)

Brooks Koepka will attempt to recreate the mind set he has heading into a major tournament when he tackles the Players Championship at Sawgrass (20/1 to win The Players outright).

The world number three, who has two US Opens and a US PGA title to his name, seems to raise his game for the majors, which should stand him in good stead this week.

The Players Championship is regarded as the unofficial ‘fifth major’ on the tour and Koepka is keen to add it to the trophy cabinet.

“It’s an important week. I’m trying to treat it like a major. I’m trying to treat every event like a major,” he said.

“Coming down from my routine to how I prepare, not out there grinding all day every day, trying to fine-tune everything. I keep it very simple.”

After defending his US Open title and then winning the US PGA soon after, the American says his confidence is sky high, and he also believes he has a mental edge over most of the field.

“I’ve got a lot more confidence now than I’ve ever had. That’s all it is,” he added. “The majors are, I don’t want to say easier, but I feel it kind of is.

“You’ve got so many guys playing, a couple of them are mentally going to beat themselves up. Just in contention, if it’s tough, certain guys are going to throw themselves out, and it really kind of whittles down to a few players.”

Looking further ahead to the Masters, Koepka is looking forward to playing at Augusta after missing out through injury last year, and has glory in his sights (14/1 to win the Masters).

“I’m excited to get back there,” he said. “I’m always excited for a major, but it will be nice to go back as an actual major champion for the first time. It will be nice.”
