Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka is set to leave LIV Golf after the 2025 season, stepping away from the league in a move described as mutual and family-driven. Reports from ESPN say Koepka’s representatives confirmed the decision, with Koepka aiming to spend more time at home.

Koepka, 35, joined LIV in 2022 and quickly became one of the circuit’s most recognizable names. He captained Smash GC and collected multiple wins during his time with the league. LIV CEO Scott O’Neil reportedly confirmed the amicable split, with Smash GC expected to move forward under new leadership.

The announcement lands after a stretch of uneven major results, with recent struggles including missed cuts across multiple majors. Still, Koepka remains one of the era’s defining major performers, and his decision instantly raises questions about what comes next — especially with the sport still navigating the LIV–PGA Tour divide.

A PGA Tour return is not confirmed, but it’s the most obvious “next chapter” fans will debate. Under current PGA Tour policies that have applied to players who joined LIV, any pathway back could involve a waiting period and a formal reinstatement process, which may affect how quickly he could resume full-time PGA Tour play. Coverage and reaction have continued across major golf outlets, including Sky Sports.

For LIV Golf, Koepka’s exit would be a notable shift: a top-tier, headline-level signing choosing to step away at the end of the season. For Koepka, it signals a clear reset — putting family first, and leaving the competitive future open-ended.
