Brooks Koepka conceded he misses playing against Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler on the eve of the 2023 Masters.

Koepka captured his second LIV Golf League title at Orange County National, pocketing another huge pay day.

The 32-year-old four-time major champ claimed it's the first time since his 2019 runner-up finish to Tiger Woods at Augusta National that he's healthy.

Koepka will be amongst a posse of LIV players making the journey up Magnolia Lane this week for the first major of the year.

The green jackets will undoubtedly not want the LIV Golf sideshow. Still, it's hard to ignore what has happened in the game over the last year.

In case you missed it, Greg Norman has a masterplan should a player from the 'rebel' league win the coveted green jacket.

They plan to swarm the 18th green.

Norman told NewsCorps:

"There's talk in our teams all around here, there are 18 or us LIV guys at Augusta and if one of the guys, no matter who it is, they are all going to be there on the 18th green, they are all going to be there."

The Great White Shark said the idea gave him 'goosebumps'.

As for Koepka, he told the media in the immediate aftermath of his victory competing at Augusta National will be extra special.

Asked about Norman's plan, Koepka said:

"Yeah, it'll be great just to see all the good players back, back in one field again, right? It's the first time we've seen it in a long time. That'll be exciting.

"I'm looking forward to it, just to see everybody and compete against them, because at the end of the day, I'll be honest, I do miss playing against Rory, I do miss playing against Scottie, and I'm sure they miss playing against us, as well.

"That's a fact; you always want to play against the best. That's going to make Augusta even more special.

"But yeah, I think if one of the LIV players does win, I think it'll be definitely a huge statement for LIV, and I know that all, what is it, 17, 18 guys?"
