As expected, Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion remains connected to the competing circuit but needs more family time. This was amicably agreed upon, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s official statement. However, Koepka is a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, something LIV did not consistently provide. He joined LIV in 2022 mostly due to injury concerns and to secure his retirement fund. His decision to forgo the final contracted season is not surprising, though questions remain about financial settlements and his ownership status in LIV team Smash GC, now led by Talor Gooch.
Speculation is rife about which tour Koepka will join next. He would be immediately eligible on the DP World Tour, perhaps with a penalty fee, or on the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension from his last LIV event, after former commissioner Jay Monahan reduced lifetime bans. This question partially answered: ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach reported Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, ending his hiatus since 2022.
