After weeks of speculation, it’s official: Brooks Koepka is parting ways with the LIV Golf League after four seasons.
The rumors had been swirling for weeks, and now it’s confirmed: Brooks Koepka will no longer be part of the LIV Golf League. The five-time Major champion had been a key figure in the league since 2022, notching five wins, serving as captain of Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf is ending earlier than originally planned.

The decision was made mutually, according to both parties. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they agreed to part ways after the 2025 season. Koepka stated that he wants to spend more time with his family, especially his wife Jena and son Crew. The 35-year-old expressed gratitude to the league leadership, his teammates, and fans.

Team changes and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making this an early departure. As a result, Smash GC has undergone a leadership change, with Talor Gooch stepping in as captain, supported by Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell. One roster spot remains open for the upcoming season.
Koepka becomes the first Major winner to leave the league since its inception. While his next steps remain somewhat unclear, his path is partially mapped out. After his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period will apply for the PGA Tour. However, he remains eligible to compete on the DP World Tour and is qualified for all four Major championships. Koepka has yet to announce specific tournament plans or when he will return to regular competition.
