After months of speculation, Brooks Koepka’s time at LIV Golf has officially come to an end.
The tour announced on Tuesday that the five-time major winner will no longer play in the Saudi-backed league after joining in 2022.
“We have amicably and mutually agreed that Brooks Koepka will no longer compete in the LIV Golf League following the 2025 season,” the tour said in a statement. “Brooks is prioritizing the needs of his family and staying closer to home. We appreciate the significant impact he has had on the game and wish him continued success, both on and off the field.”

Koepka’s representatives said he is deeply grateful to Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Scott O’Neil and the LIV Golf leadership team, his teammates and the fans,” citing family time as his reason for leaving.
“Family has always guided Brooks’ decisions and he feels this is the right time to spend more time at home. Brooks will continue to be a strong supporter of LIV Golf and wants the league and its players to continue to be successful. Brooks remains passionate about the game of golf and will keep fans informed about what is to come,” the statement read.
It remains to be seen if Koepka will return to the PGA Tour, but the Tour issued a statement following Koepka’s LIV departure, seemingly attacking his rival.
“Brooks Koepka is a highly accomplished professional and we wish him and his family continued success. The PGA Tour continues to offer the best professional golfers the most competitive, challenging and lucrative environment in which to pursue greatness,” the tour said.

LIV GOLF’S MITO PEREIRA MAKES IMPRESSIVE DECISION TO RETIRE AT AGE 30
Rumors have constantly circulated that Koepka has had buyer’s remorse since joining LIV Golf in a deal that he admitted was worth nine figures. Koepka was one of the first big names to join the Saudi-funded tour, and he admitted at the 2023 Masters that his injuries played a role in the move, which guaranteed him a huge payday.
In March, Koepka admitted that he didn’t “know where I was going” once his contract was up.
Koepka took the golf world by storm several years ago, winning four majors in a two-year span. However, injuries derailed him for a long time. After a torn patella tendon, he lost his dominant form, winning only one event in a three-year span before his move to LIV, often finding himself outside the cut line.
He joined LIV after missing the cut at the 2022 Masters and finishing tied for 55th and 55th at the PGA Championship and US Open that year. Koepka was reinvigorated in 2023, winning the PGA Championship just a month after finishing tied for second at The Masters, earning him a spot on that year’s Ryder Cup team.

However, his best finish in a major since 2024 was his T-12 at this year’s US Open at Oakmont. It was his only top-25 finish at a major in that span, and he missed the other three cuts.
