As expected, Brooks Koepka has withdrawn from the LIV Golf League for the 2026 season starting on February 7 in Riyadh; the five-time major winner will remain connected to the rival circuit but needs more time for his family. This was reportedly agreed upon amicably, according to LIV CEO Scott McNeil. Koepka is a competitive type who gets highly motivated and fired up only during top-level competition, something that the LIV League offered him only to a limited extent. He initially joined LIV in 2022 mainly because injuries made him fear an early end to his career, and he wanted to secure a substantial retirement fund. In this light, his foregoing the final contractually obligated playing year is not surprising, although questions remain. Did he buy out his contract or repay some of the guaranteed salary? Is the 35-year-old still an owner of his LIV team Smash GC, which has already appointed Talor Gooch as the new captain?
Speculation is rife about which fairways Koepka will play on next. The DP World Tour, where he would be eligible to play immediately – likely against a penalty? Or the PGA Tour, where he faces a one-year suspension since his last LIV appearance, after the lifetime bans imposed by former commissioner Jay Monahan were significantly softened? Why be vengeful when every LIV returnee, especially a prominent one, plays into the hands of the Tour that now has the upper hand? This crucial question now seems partially answered. According to ESPN journalist Mark Schlabach, Koepka formally applied last Friday to reactivate his PGA Tour membership, which was not renewed after 2022, and to be reinstated as a Tour member.
