As expected, Brooks Koepka has officially withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion remains connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for his family, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s statement. Koepka is a competitive player motivated by high-level challenges, which he found limited at LIV. He initially joined LIV in 2022 due to injury concerns about ending his career early and to secure a substantial retirement fund. Thus, skipping his final contractual season is unsurprising, though questions remain about his financial arrangements and ongoing ownership of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation grows regarding which tour Koepka will compete on next—the DP World Tour, where he is immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty, or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension following his last LIV appearance after previous lifetime bans were eased. Following ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach’s report, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and return to the playing field.
