As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh. The five-time major champion will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for family, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s official statement. Koepka, known as a fierce competitor who thrives in high-level competition, had mixed motivation in LIV. He joined LIV in 2022 mainly due to injury concerns about ending his career and a desire to secure his retirement fund. Thus, skipping the last contractual season is not surprising, though questions remain about buyouts or partial paybacks. He also remains owner of LIV team Smash GC, who recently appointed Talor Gooch as captain.
Speculation is rife about which tours Koepka will appear on next. He could play on the DP World Tour immediately, possibly with a penalty, or return to the PGA Tour, where a one-year suspension has been reduced. According to ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and rejoin the playing ranks after his membership ended in 2022.
