The American is one of golf’s best performers on the big stage, so who is Brooks Koepka’s coach?
As proved in recent years, Koepka is one of the most prolific major winners of his generation. Where the Floridian has impressed the most is in golf’s ‘big four’.
He has hoisted the US Open and PGA Championship trophies on several occasions, and he has a team of experienced coaches carving one of the game’s most feared swings.
Those renowned coaches have shaped his swing but, nowadays, he only works with veteran short game coach Pete Cowen.

Brooks Koepka’s coach
In January 2025, Brooks Koepka told Golfweek that he had split with coach Claude Harmon III.
Koepka had reunited with Harmon III in the summer of 2022 after a hugely successful seven year stint together between 2013 and 2020.
Koepka has continued to seek the advice of revered coach Pete Cowen on his short game. After first appointing Cowen, he said: “Pete is obviously one of the best coaches ever, in my opinion.”
The Englishman has worked with a host of top players throughout his career, including Lee Westwood, Henrik Stenson and, for a short time, Rory McIlroy.
Cowen was a former tour champion himself, so it should be no surprise that he has since coached players to over 250 PGA Tour titles and over a dozen major championships.
Koepka’s coach established his reputation whilst Head Professional at the prestigious Ryder Cup venue Lindrick Golf Club, where he left in 1997 to pursue full-time coaching.

After Koepka won at Oak Hill in 2023, Cowen said: “He will win a lot more.
“I certainly think he will go another four and he would obviously like a grand slam. Look at how many times he has been second or just missed out already.
“I thought he was an unbelievable player in 2018-2019 and he has got stronger.”
And before the 2024 PGA Championship, Cowen told the Telegraph about a lesson he gave Koepka that has worked in the past.
“I told him to stop whinging and to just get to work on the issue,” Cowen said. “Again, that’s the sort of thing that triggers him. I gave him a b******ing before he won his first Major (the US Open) seven years ago.
“He’s put in the hours and turned it around on the greens since then and with Valhalla being a big boys’ course, I can see him, at the very least, contending.”
Meanwhile, much of Koepka’s return to fitness after knee injuries can be attributed to his physical therapist Marc Wahl.
Another valued member of team Koepka is the LIV man’s putting coach, Jeff Pierce.
He has teamed up with several players to success on both the PGA Tour and LPGA Tour since 2012.
