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, racking up five wins, captaining Smash GC, and making numerous high-profile appearances. His time with LIV Golf ends 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 explained that he wants to spend more time with his family, particularly his wife Jena and son Crew. The 35-year-old expressed his gratitude to the league leadership, teammates, and fans.

Team changes and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, so the departure comes a year early. This prompted a sudden restructuring within his team. Talor Gooch will now take over as captain of Smash GC, 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 future path is somewhat clear, though no specific announcements have been made. After his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period for the PGA Tour will apply. Meanwhile, he remains eligible to play on the DP World Tour and is qualified for all four Major championships. However, Koepka has yet to reveal when and where he plans to compete next.
