Koepka said Saturday's 64 at the Myrtle Beach Classic left him more excited than any round since his 2023 PGA Championship win, a striking endorsement of PGA Tour competition after leaving LIV.
A back-nine 29 pushed the 36-year-old to within five shots of the lead entering the final round, giving weight to comments that this opposite-field event stirred something LIV victories did not.
That contrast could unsettle LIV as questions persist over the league's future and possible roster changes, even after Anirban Lahiri said about a dozen LIV players would rather retire than return to the PGA Tour.
Koepka's resurgence also boosts lower-profile PGA Tour stops as he moves closer to qualifying for signature events, suggesting the tour's competitive pull still resonates with top former LIV names.
