First start already at the Farmers, Vijay Singh wants to try again, Charley Hull soon on YouTube. The Back Nine.
As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for family. LIV CEO Scott McNeil said the decision was amicably agreed upon. Koepka is a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, something he lacked at LIV. He joined LIV in 2022 mainly due to injury concerns and to secure a substantial retirement fund. His decision to skip the final contractual season is thus not surprising, though questions remain about contract buyouts and his ownership of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation abounds about which tour Koepka will compete on next: the DP World Tour, where he would have immediate playing status, possibly with a penalty? Or the PGA Tour, where a one-year suspension remains post-LIV participation, though lifetime bans have been softened? According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership after not renewing since 2022 and to be reinstated as a player.
