Expected: Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the rival circuit but needs more family time. This amicable agreement was announced by LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka is a competitive type who thrives in high-level competition, which he lacked somewhat at LIV. He had joined LIV in 2022 primarily due to injury concerns and to secure a solid retirement fund. Thus, skipping his final contractual season is unsurprising, though questions remain about buyouts and his ownership of Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculations focus on which tours Koepka will join next: DP World Tour, where he could play immediately likely paying a penalty, or PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension post-LIV appearances. However, punishments have been eased recently. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, which was not renewed after 2022.
