Overview
- Koepka has formally applied to regain PGA Tour membership after parting ways with LIV Golf in December 2025, three years after joining the league in 2022.
- The decision will be made in Ponte Vedra by PGA Tour leadership, including CEO Brian Rolapp, with input from a player committee led by Tiger Woods.
- Recent cases suggest returning LIV players have faced lengthy suspensions, raising the possibility Koepka could sit out 2026, with some speculation pointing to 2027 as a realistic timeline.
- Smylie Kaufman voiced concerns about fairness for current members, questioning access to signature events and proposing options such as limiting Koepka to open fields or expanding fields to avoid displacing others.
- Michael Kim reacted with a lighthearted social post, while analysis notes that a swift, penalty‑free return could encourage others to join LIV knowing a path back to the PGA Tour may exist.
