PGA Tour reinstates Koepka, leaves door open for other ...
Brooks Koepka joins the PGA Tour Returning Player Program with restrictions and penalties after leaving LIV Golf to be closer to family, PGA Tour CEO said.
- On Monday, the PGA Tour reinstated Brooks Koepka via a limited Returning Member Program, which the tour said carries `severe and justified consequences` for returnees.
- Brooks Koepka, a five-time Major champion, left LIV last month to be closer to his family in the United States and accepts the financial penalties tied to his decision.
- The Returning Member Program restricts tournament access and earnings for returnees, applying only to players who won a Players Championship or major between 2022-25, said Brian Rolapp, PGA chief.
- LIV Golf responded on Monday, reaffirming its unchanged vision to grow golf globally and saying its open ecosystem applies to all players, not just a limited few.
- Koepka's prior role with Smash GC and unrevealed LIV Golf 2026 rosters raise roster and pathway questions, while Brian Rolapp said the PGA Tour aims to gather the world’s best players week in and week out.
