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 in recent 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, securing five wins and serving as captain of Smash GC. His tenure with LIV Golf, marked by high-profile performances, ends earlier than initially planned.
Koepka exits LIV Golf League ahead of schedule
According to both parties, the decision was mutual. LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil confirmed that they agreed to part ways after the 2025 season. Koepka stated he wants to spend more time with his family, especially with his wife Jena and son Crew. The 35-year-old expressed gratitude to the league leadership, his teammates, and fans.

Team reshuffle and future plans
Koepka’s contract with LIV Golf was originally set to run through 2026, making his departure a year early. This prompted a quick restructuring within Smash GC. Talor Gooch will take over as team captain, supported by Jason Kokrak and Graeme McDowell. One team 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 outlined but lacks specifics: following his final LIV Golf appearance in August 2025, a suspension period applies to the PGA Tour. He remains eligible for the DP World Tour and all four Major championships. However, he has not yet revealed when or where he plans to compete next.
