First start already at the Farmers, Vijay Singh is back in action, Charley Hull soon on YouTube. The Back Nine.
As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf League season, which starts on February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion remains connected with the competing circuit but needs more time for his family. This was amicably agreed, according to the official statement by LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka is a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, something he found limited at LIV. He had joined LIV in 2022 seeking financial security due to career-threatening injuries. His decision to forego the last contracted season raises questions about contract buyouts and his status as owner of the LIV team Smash GC, which has named Talor Gooch as captain.
Speculation abounds regarding which tours Koepka will play next: the DP World Tour, where he is immediately eligible, probably with a penalty fee? Or the PGA Tour, where he faces a reduced one-year suspension following his last LIV event? Koepka has formally applied to reinstate his PGA Tour membership, as reported by ESPN’s Mark Schlabach.
