Reports Point to Brooks Koepka Potentially Sitting Out LIV’s 2026 Season as CEO Says He Is Signed

Such a move would preserve his major championships plus DP World Tour starts, potentially positioning him for PGA Tour eligibility in late August 2026.

Overview

  • Multiple golf sources reported by SBNation indicate Koepka may not play on LIV Golf in 2026 despite his contract.
  • LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil declined to discuss individual plans, saying only that Koepka is signed for 2026 under league policy.
  • The uncertainty surfaces as original LIV contracts come up for renewal, with Dustin Johnson extending and Bryson DeChambeau in extension talks.
  • If he skips LIV events, Koepka would still qualify for all majors and retain DP World Tour access through his 2023 PGA Championship victory.
  • Based on precedent for returning players, a one-year PGA Tour suspension could make Koepka eligible to compete on the PGA Tour in late August 2026.
