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 key figure in the league since 2022, racking up five wins, serving as team captain for Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf now ends earlier than originally expected.
Koepka and LIV Golf part ways amicably
According to both parties, the decision was mutual. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they had agreed to end their collaboration 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.

Leadership changes and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, so the departure comes a year early. As a result, his team had to undergo a quick restructuring. Talor Gooch will now take over as captain of 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 outlined, though without specific announcements. Following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour will take effect. Meanwhile, he remains eligible to compete on the DP World Tour and is qualified for all four Major championships. So far, he has not revealed any concrete tournament plans, leaving fans wondering when and where he will next tee it up regularly.
