As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the competing circuit but needs more time for family. This was mutually agreed upon, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka, a competitive type who thrives on high-level competition, was less motivated in LIV. He originally joined LIV in 2022 mainly due to injury concerns and to secure a good retirement fund. Questions remain if he had to buy out his contract or return part of his guaranteed earnings. He remains the owner of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculations arise on which tour Koepka will compete next: the DP World Tour, where he would be immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty, or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension since his last LIV event, after lifetime bans were softened by former commissioner Jay Monahan. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and return to the playing field.
