As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the 2026 LIV Golf season starting February 7 in Riyadh.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 wants more family time, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka, a competitive player, has been less motivated in LIV events and originally joined in 2022 due to injury concerns and financial reasons. Questions remain whether he had to buy out his contract or return part of his guaranteed salary. He still owns the LIV team Smash GC, with Talor Gooch as the new captain.
Speculation is rife about where Koepka will play next — on the DP World Tour, where he would be immediately eligible, possibly with a penalty, or on the PGA Tour where he would have served a one-year suspension following his last LIV event due to softened lifetime bans. According to ESPN’s Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership and be reinstated as a player.
