After weeks of speculation, it’s official: Brooks Koepka is parting ways with the LIV Golf League after four seasons.
The rumors had been swirling for weeks, and now it’s confirmed: Brooks Koepka will no longer be part of the LIV Golf League. The five-time Major champion had been a staple of the league since 2022 and one of its most prominent early figures. His time with LIV Golf included five victories, a captaincy at Smash GC, and numerous high-profile appearances—now coming to an end earlier than expected.

The decision was made mutually, according to both parties. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they had agreed to part ways after the 2025 season. Koepka stated that he wants to spend more time with his family, especially his wife Jena and son Crew. The 35-year-old expressed gratitude to the league leadership, his teammates, and fans.

New roles and open questions
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making this exit a year early. His departure prompted a quick restructuring within his team. Talor Gooch will now take over the captaincy at Smash GC, supported by Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell. One team spot remains open for the upcoming season.
Koepka becomes the first Major winner to leave the league since its inception. His future path is somewhat defined, though no specific announcements have been made. Following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour applies. At the same time, he remains eligible for the DP World Tour and all four Major Championships. He has yet to reveal when and where he plans to compete regularly again.
