The American achieved his second consecutive victory in this LIV tournament on Sunday in Jeddah in Saudi Arabia after beating his compatriot Talor Gooch in a playoff.
But Gooch, who scored 62 shots in the third and final round, had the biggest smile as he was crowned the series’ best player and banked an enormous bonus of $18 million (about R341 million).
Koepka earned $3 million (almost R56 million) with his first place.
Koepka and Gooch both finished at -14, with Harold Varner III, Sergio Garcia and Scott Vincent tied for third at -12.
South Africa’s Charl Schwartzel and Dean Burmester both finished at -7, with Louis Oosthuizen at -5 and Branden Grace at -3.
The South African Stingers team finished ninth, but collected enough points to finish fifth overall in the series.
The teams will now play in a final tournament in Miami this coming weekend to divide another enormous bonus pot between the teams.
The top four teams (4 Aces, Crushers, Torque and Range Goats) get to pick their opponents first, after which it’s the Stingers’ turn to decide their opponents.
