As expected: Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh.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’s friendly joint statement. Koepka, a competitor who thrives on top-level contests, was only partially motivated by LIV. Having joined LIV in 2022 mainly due to injury concerns and to secure a good retirement fund, his opting out of the final contracted season is not surprising, though questions about contract buyouts and ownership of his LIV team Smash GC remain.
Speculation grows on which fairways Koepka will appear next: immediately eligible for the DP World Tour, possibly with a penalty, or the PGA Tour where he faces a one-year suspension since his last LIV appearance, following eased lifetime bans by former Commissioner Jay Monahan. The key question seems partly answered as ESPN’s Mark Schlabach reports Koepka formally applied to reactivate his PGA Tour membership last Friday.
