As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting on February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for family. This was officially stated by LIV CEO Scott McNeil, though some remain skeptical. Koepka is a competitive type who thrives in high-level competition, which he only conditionally found in LIV. In 2022, he joined LIV primarily because of injury concerns threatening his career and the desire to secure a solid retirement fund. Thus, his skipping the final contracted season is not surprising, though questions remain about financial settlements and his ownership status of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation is rife about where Koepka will compete next – the DP World Tour, potentially immediately eligible possibly with a penalty, or the PGA Tour, where he must serve a one-year suspension after his last LIV event following greatly reduced lifetime bans initially imposed by former Commissioner Jay Monahan. Interestingly, according to ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, which was not renewed after 2022.
