However, since both brothers compete at the highest level of the sport, it must be quite simple for their parents to determine who’s much more competitive. Their father, Bob Koepka, once shared how unique Brooks’ attitude is compared to Chase’s.

Bob Koepka who had a front-row seat watching his young sons go on to become pro golfers shared his side of the story. “When they were young kids, many people would have said Chase was going to be the better player,” Bob said.
He further shed light on how Brook’s killer instinct has been a key element in his success. Bob said, “But he is quick to add that what separated the two was Brooks’s killer instinct, which was on full display when he won four our of eight major championships beginning in June 2017”.
The Senior Koepka also claimed that his elder son would prove everyone wrong, regardless of the sport.“Whether it was Ping-Pong or golf, if someone told Brooks he couldn’t do it, he would prove them wrong,” said Bob.
