As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season that starts on February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for family, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil. However, Koepka, a competitor who thrives on high-level events, was less motivated at LIV. He originally joined LIV in 2022 mainly to secure his retirement financially after injury concerns. Questions remain about whether he had to buy out his contract or repay part of his guarantees. He still owns the LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation abounds about where Koepka will appear next: DP World Tour, where he is likely immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty, or PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension after his last LIV event following reduced lifetime bans by former Commissioner Jay Monahan? This question seems partially answered. ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach reported that Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, which had not been extended after 2022.
