While some of the top golfers in the world call Palm Beach County home now, there aren't too many that are truly local products. While many, like Jack Nicklaus and Greg Norman, have lived in the area for the majority of their lives, they have all moved here from somewhere else.

A standout at Cardinal Newman and Florida State, Koepka served as a stadard-bearer at the Honda Classic for years during his junior golf days.
