Koepka turned professional in the middle of 2016 and played on the Challenge Tour in the latter part of the year with little success. He played on the tour again in 2017 and had much more success. He finished in the top-10 on five occasions, including being runner-up in the Italian Challenge and the Kazakhstan Open, and finished the season 9th in the Order of Merit to earn a place on the European Tour for 2018. He teamed with his brother Brooks in the 2017 Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the pair finishing tied for 5th.

Koepka started 2018 well, finishing tied for 7th place in the BMW SA Open but thereafter failed to finish in the top 20 of any European Tour event and finished 182nd in the Order of Merit. In 2019, Koepka played on the Challenge Tour but only made the cut three times in 12 events. He also made an attempt to qualify for the 2020 Korn Ferry Tour.
