Overview

  • Koepka submitted his reinstatement request on Friday, according to multiple reports including ESPN.
  • The tour will conduct a reinstatement and disciplinary review with involvement from CEO Brian Rolapp, the policy board, and guidance from Tiger Woods’ Future Competition Committee.
  • Tour policy generally requires players from unauthorized events to be one year removed from their last start; Koepka’s final LIV appearance was in August 2025, leaving timing unresolved.
  • Despite his tour status, he remains eligible for all four majors this year through his five-year exemption from the 2023 PGA Championship.
  • His Official World Golf Ranking has slipped to No. 244, and reaction to a swift return is split, with Rory McIlroy supportive and Brandel Chamblee urging consequences.
