As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the LIV League for the 2026 season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the rival circuit but wants more family time. LIV CEO Scott McNeil officially confirmed a friendly agreement. Koepka, a fierce competitor who thrives under top-level pressure, found limited motivation at LIV. He originally moved there in 2022 partly due to injury concerns and to secure a good retirement fund. His withdrawal from the final contracted season raises questions about possible buyouts or salary repayments. It remains unclear if the 35-year-old still owns his LIV team Smash GC, which has named Talor Gooch as captain.
Speculation grows about which fairways Koepka will appear on next — the DP World Tour, where he could play immediately (perhaps after a fine), or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension from his last LIV appearance. Former Commissioner Jay Monahan’s lifetime bans have been significantly reduced. Why hold grudges when any prominent returning LIV player benefits the established tours? ESPN’s Mark Schlabach reported Koepka formally applied last Friday to reinstate his PGA Tour membership, which had not been renewed after 2022.
