As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf League season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for family. This was mutually agreed upon, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s official statement. Koepka is a competitor motivated by high-level competition, which was somewhat limited at LIV. He initially joined LIV in 2022 due to injury concerns and to secure a solid retirement fund. Questions remain whether he had to buy out his contract or repay part of his guaranteed salary, and if he remains an owner of the LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculations arise about where Koepka will play next: DP World Tour, where he would be immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty? Or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension following his last LIV start, after previous lifetime bans were softened? According to ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and be reinstated as a player.
