After 3 days (October 13-15) of intense competition among the elite golfers globally, 3 titles were decided in the live golf league 2023, namely: the singles title of the Jeddah live Golf Championship (won by the American Brooks Kipka, scoring 14 strokes below the average), and the team title of the Jeddah live Golf Championship (won by the fireballs team led by Spaniard Sergio Garcia and alongside his compatriot Eugenio Chacara, the Mexicans Abraham Unser and Carlos Ortiz, with a total of 34 strokes below the average), and the overall title of the singles competitions of the 2023 live golf league (won by American Talor Gotch with 192 points).

The eyes of golf enthusiasts and fans around the world will turn to the United States of America, where the live golf Miami tournament will be held, the last of the 2023 calendar tournaments in the live golf league, in which the overall title of the team competitions will be decided. The ranking is led by the Four Aces team with a total of 192 points, followed by the crushers team with a total of 186 points and behind them the Turk team with a total of 183 points.

Brooks Koepka said: "it's been a great week . Of course, it's special when you succeed in winning any tournament. I felt like I was hitting good short putts, it was just about being patient and keeping focused. It was important to stay away from the dirt part of the stadium and the dirt pits, I like the Royal Greens stadium very much and it suits my style and I think I play well on it. I am happy to have achieved my first titles after the birth of my child".

"I was nervous all night yesterday and this morning, but when I went to the opening hole and successfully put the ball in the middle of the court and then scored it in the hole from a distance of 30 feet, I felt great relief. It's a very special day for me".

"You can feel how excited and happy we are that we all played so well in Chicago and here in Jeddah, and we know the importance of Miami, so hopefully we can continue to perform at a special level and have fun while doing it,"said Garcia, the fireballs captain.
