After leaving LIV Golf, Brooks Koepka has reportedly applied to be reinstated to the PGA Tour.
A statement released by Koepka’s management team said Koepka’s decision to leave LIV was “guided” by his family, and he wants to spend more time at home.
“Brooks will continue to be a huge fan of LIV Golf and wishes the league and its players continued success. Brooks still loves the game of golf and will keep fans informed in the future,” the statement said.

The PGA Tour said anyone who deviates from LIV will be suspended by the Tour. His last non-major PGA event was the 2022 Valspar Championship played that March.
According to ESPN, which reported on Koepka’s request for reinstatement, the tour will soon begin the disciplinary and reinstatement process, which will include “input from the board, including the players’ directors.”
After Koepka left LIV, the PGA Tour issued a confidential statement.
“Brooks Koepka is an accomplished professional, and we wish him and his family continued success. The PGA Tour continues to provide top golfers with a competitive, challenging and lucrative environment in which to pursue greatness,” the tour said.
Rumors have spread that Koepka has buyer’s remorse since joining LIV Golf in a nine-figure deal. Koepka was one of the first big-name golfers to join the Saudi-sponsored tour, agreeing to the 2023 Masters his injury there was a large contribution to this move, which ensured a large income.

In March, Koepka admitted that he “didn’t know where I was going” when his contract expired. It is reported that Koepka’s contract has one year left.
Koepka took over the world of golf by storm a few years ago, winning four majors in a two-year span. However, injuries hampered him for a long time after that. Following a torn patella tendon, he lost his dominant form, winning just one event in the three years before his move to LIV, often finding himself outside the cut line.
Joined LIV after missing the cut at 2022 Masters and finished tied for 55th and 55th at the PGA Championship and US Open, respectively, that year. Koepka reinvented himself in 2023, winning the PGA Championship just a month after tying for second at The Masters, earning him a spot on that year’s Ryder Cup team.

However, his best finish since 2024 was 12th at this year’s US Open at Oakmont. It was his only top 25 hit at the time, and he missed the rest of the cut.
Koepka is eligible to play in all four majors this year, even if suspended by the PGA, because of his 2023 win at Oak Hill. Major events are not PGA sanctioned events.
