As expected, Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf League season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion stays connected to the competing circuit but needs more family time. LIV CEO Scott McNeil stated this was a friendly agreement. Koepka, a competitor who thrives in top-level competition, has been less motivated in LIV Golf. He had joined LIV in 2022 mainly due to injuries threatening his career and to secure a good retirement fund. Hence, skipping the last contract season is not surprising, though questions remain about possible buyouts or refunds. The 35-year-old remains an owner of LIV’s Smash GC team, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation grows about which fairways Koepka will appear on next—DP World Tour where he is eligible immediately, possibly with penalties, or PGA Tour where he still faces a one-year suspension following his last LIV event, after lifetime bans were significantly reduced. Returning to the PGA Tour suits both Koepka and tour investors behind the new elite schedule. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and regain playing status.
