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, securing five wins, serving as captain of Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf ends earlier than originally planned.
Koepka exits LIV Golf ahead of schedule
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, his teammates, and fans.

New roles and open questions
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making this an early exit. The move prompted a quick restructuring within his team. Talor Gooch will take over the captaincy at Smash GC, supported by Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell. One spot on the team remains open for the upcoming season.
Koepka becomes the first Major champion to leave the league since its inception. His future path is somewhat clear, though no specific announcements have been made. After his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour will take effect. He remains eligible to compete on the DP World Tour and is qualified for all four Major tournaments. However, he has yet to reveal when and where he plans to return to regular competition.
