US EditionWyndham Clark frustrated that Koepka could take Saudi money and return to PGA Tour
Wyndham Clark criticized the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program for potentially encouraging players to leave for LIV Golf and return after earning large sums, calling it frustrating.
- On Jan 14, 2026, Wyndham Clark said he was frustrated that Brooks Koepka could take LIV Golf money and then return to the PGA Tour, speaking on SiriusXM PGA Tour radio 'Gravy and the Sleeze' show.
- Under the Returning Member Program, players who won majors or The Players Championship since 2022 and were off tour two years must make a $5 million charity donation and forgo tour equity grants for five years.
- Clark warned on SiriusXM that players know they can take a short, year-or-two stint off tour for LIV Golf pay and return, saying almost everyone would have done that.
- Players who have earned tour equity could benefit financially if Brooks Koepka plays again, and Tiger Woods said Tuesday it "makes it a better place to play."
- With a Feb. 2 deadline approaching, Brian Rolapp's offer for Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith expires, and Wyndham Clark said he likes Koepka but wanted stronger repercussions.
