As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner remains connected to the rival circuit but needs more family time, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka is known as a competitor who thrives on high-level competition, something he lacked on LIV. He originally joined LIV in 2022 due to injury concerns and to secure retirement funds. Questions remain whether he bought out of his contract or repaid guaranteed money. It is also unclear if he still owns his LIV team Smash GC, now captained by Talor Gooch.
Speculation is rampant about where Koepka will next compete. He is immediately eligible to play on the DP World Tour, possibly with a penalty, or on the PGA Tour where he faces a one-year suspension from his last LIV event, which has been reduced from a lifetime ban. ESPN reporter Mark Schlabach revealed Koepka formally applied last Friday to reinstate his PGA Tour membership and rejoin the player pool.
