Brooks Koepka Leaves LIV Golf Ahead of 2026 Season

Any PGA Tour return remains uncertain under the one-year sit‑out rule following his family‑driven, amicable exit.

Overview

  • LIV Golf and Koepka’s representatives said he will step away after the 2025 season, citing a desire to spend more time at home.
  • He will not compete in the 2026 LIV campaign, and Talor Gooch will take over as Smash GC captain.
  • The PGA Tour issued a short message wishing Koepka well but offered no commitment on reinstatement.
  • Current PGA Tour policy generally requires one year away from a player’s last LIV appearance, leaving his competitive plans for 2026 unresolved.
  • Koepka retains entry to all four majors via his 2023 PGA Championship win and could play DP World Tour events; he reportedly had one year left on a deal worth about $100 million.
