    Brooks Koepka isn't the only one on a roll. A few equipment streaks remained intact at the PGA Championship as well

    May 20, 2019

    Brooks Koepka has now won three of the past five major championships played and four of eight. How historically dominant is Koepka's stretch? Only Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan have won four majors in a eight-major stretch in the modern era. Koepka's PGA Championship win has elevated him into elite territory.

    There were a few other impressive streaks in majors solidified on Sunday as it relates to the equipment front. Koepka’s winner’s bag from the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black extended four significant equipment runs in drivers, driver shafts, irons shafts and the golf ball. TaylorMade, Mitsubishi and True Temper have all won the past five majors while Titleist golf balls have found the winner’s circle in eight of the last nine, with Tiger Woods’ win at this year’s Masters using a Bridgestone ball stopping a seven-major winning streak for Titleist.

    Here’s a look at the equipment involved in these impressive runs:
