After weeks of speculation, it’s official: Brooks Koepka is parting ways with the LIV Golf League after four seasons.
The rumors had been circulating persistently, and now confirmation has arrived: 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, securing five victories, captaining Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf now ends earlier than originally planned.

The decision was reportedly mutual. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that both parties agreed to end the collaboration 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.

Leadership changes and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making this an early exit. His departure prompted a quick restructuring within Smash GC. Talor Gooch will take over as team 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. His next steps are somewhat defined but not yet officially announced. Following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour will apply. However, he remains eligible for the DP World Tour and all four Major championships. Koepka has not yet revealed when or where he will compete next.
