After weeks of speculation, it’s official: Brooks Koepka is parting ways with the LIV Golf League after four seasons.
The rumors have been circulating 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 key figure in the league since 2022, securing five wins, serving as captain of Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf ends earlier than initially planned.
Koepka exits LIV Golf after four impactful years
According to both parties, the decision was mutual. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they agreed to end the partnership after the 2025 season. Koepka stated 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, teammates, and fans.

Leadership changes and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making this an early departure. His exit prompted a quick leadership reshuffle at Smash GC, where Talor Gooch will now take over as captain, supported by Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell. One team spot remains open for the upcoming season.
Koepka becomes the first Major champion to leave the league since its inception. His future path is somewhat mapped out, though without specific announcements. Following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour will take effect. However, he remains eligible for the DP World Tour and all four Major tournaments. So far, he has not revealed when or where he plans to compete regularly again.
