Rory McIlroy's Stance on Brooks Koepka Clear Amid LIV Golf Exit
Brooks Koepka ends 3.5-year LIV Golf run to focus on family and future play; he won five LIV events and may return to PGA or DP World Tour amid sanction uncertainty.
- On Dec. 23, Brooks Koepka announced he is leaving LIV Golf to prioritize family, with LIV saying the split followed the 2025 season and was amicable and mutual.
- Citing family reasons, Koepka's representatives said he wants to prioritize family amid LIV's global travel demands as he nears the final year of a deal that began in 2022.
- Koepka's recent schedule shows he played four DP World Tour events after the 2025 LIV season, including a fourth-place at the FedEx French Open, despite uneven form.
- To rejoin the PGA Tour, Koepka must re-apply for membership and could face a fine or suspension under Tour rules, while the PGA Tour issued a brief statement wishing him well minutes after LIV's announcement.
- Koepka's major exemptions mean his focus will likely remain on the Majors through 2028, while his exit raises questions about LIV's reported $1 to $1.4 billion losses and stalled PGA Tour talks.
