Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka is making a comeback to the PGA Tour, leaving LIV Golf behind. Koepka's decision to step away from the Saudi-backed league was announced before Christmas, citing family time as the primary reason. This move comes after Koepka's previous LIV event in August 2025, and he will now have to undergo a disciplinary process before rejoining the PGA Tour. The US circuit's policy requires players to sit out for a year after their last LIV tournament, but Koepka's five-year exemption for winning the 2023 PGA Championship at Oak Hill allows him to compete in the four majors. With LIV events not currently carrying ranking points, Koepka has slipped to 244th in the world rankings. The first PGA Tour event of 2026 is the Sony Open in Hawaii, which will be live on Sky Sports. This development is seen as a significant boost for the PGA Tour, as Koepka is a proven champion and one of the greatest players of his generation. However, the question remains whether the PGA Tour will create a loophole to allow Koepka to return sooner.
