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 central figure in the league since 2022, racking up five wins, serving as captain of Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf now ends earlier than originally planned.
Koepka and LIV Golf part ways after four years
The decision was made mutually, according to both parties. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they had 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 his 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, making this an early departure. His exit also prompted a quick restructuring within Smash GC. Talor Gooch will take over as team captain, 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. While his next steps remain somewhat vague, the path is clear: following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, he will face a suspension period from the PGA Tour. He remains eligible to compete on the DP World Tour and is qualified for all four Major championships. However, he has not yet announced a specific tournament schedule or return date.
