As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for his family, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil’s official statement. Koepka is known as a competitor who thrives on high-level contests, something he found limited in LIV. He originally joined LIV in 2022 anticipating an early career end due to injury, seeking retirement funds. Questions remain about whether he had to buy out his contract or refund part of his guaranteed salary, and if he remains owner of his LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation grows about where Koepka will play next—immediately eligible for the DP World Tour, possibly with a fine, or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension following his last LIV participation after previously lifetime bans were softened. ESPN’s Mark Schlabach reports Koepka formally applied to reactivate his PGA Tour membership last Friday.
