As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf League season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will remain tied to the competing circuit but needs more time for family. According to LIV CEO Scott McNeil, this was a mutual agreement. Koepka, known to thrive on high-level competition, was less motivated by LIV. He initially joined LIV in 2022, fearing career-ending injuries and seeking financial security for retirement. Questions remain about contract settlements and whether he still owns the LIV team Smash GC, recently captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation arises about where Koepka will next play—on the DP World Tour, where he would be immediately eligible likely after a penalty, or on the PGA Tour, where he would serve a one-year suspension following his last LIV event, after previously lifetime bans were softened. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, which had not been renewed post-2022.
