First start at the Farmers, Vijay Singh aims for a comeback, Charley Hull launching on YouTube soon. The Back Nine.
It was expected: Brooks Koepka has officially opted out of the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major champion intends to remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more family time. This amicable agreement was stated by LIV CEO Scott McNeil. However, Koepka is known as a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, something the LIV League did not fully provide. In 2022, he joined LIV mainly due to injury fears and to secure substantial retirement earnings. His choice to skip the last contractual season raises questions: Did he buy out his contract or return part of his guaranteed fee? Does the 35-year-old remain an owner of LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch?
Speculation abounds about where Koepka will play next—DP World Tour where he’d be immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty, or the PGA Tour, where a one-year suspension after his last LIV event remains but has been significantly reduced from earlier lifetime bans. According to ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and rejoin the playing field.
