Brooks Koepka has officially opted out of the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion will remain connected to the rival circuit but requires more time for family. This amicable decision was confirmed by LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Known as a competitor who thrives in high-level contests, Koepka struggled to find motivation in LIV Golf. In 2022, he switched primarily due to injury concerns and financial security for retirement. Questions remain whether he had to pay to exit or repay guaranteed earnings, and whether he remains the owner of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation continues over which tours Koepka will soon compete on. He is immediately eligible to play on the DP World Tour, potentially with a penalty, or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension from his last LIV event. However, previous lifetime bans from former commissioner Jay Monahan have been considerably reduced. Koepka recently formally applied to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, according to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, seeking reinstatement into the player pool.
