Brooks Koepka’s time with LIV Golf is over.
The 35-year-old West Jupiter, FL native originally joined the tour in 2022 and won five events over four seasons.
“Brooks Koepka will be stepping away from LIV Golf,” the player’s representatives said in a statement. “He is deeply grateful to Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Scott O’Neil, and the LIV Golf leadership team, his teammates, and the fans. Family has always guided Brooks’s decisions, and he feels this is the right moment to spend more time at home. Brooks will continue to be a huge supporter of LIV Golf and wishes the league and its players continued success. Brooks remains passionate about the game of golf and will keep fans updated on what’s ahead.”
A product of Florida State, Koepka turned pro in 2012 and won nine PGA Tour events over his nine seasons on the tour. He has five major championships, winning the PGA Championship on three occasions (2018, 2019 and 2023) and the US Open twice (2017 and 2018). He finished as runner-up at The Masters on two occasions.
Internationally, Koepka has represented the United States at four Ryder Cups and at the 2017 Presidents Cup.
With Koepka’s departure from LIV, Talor Gooch will take over as captain of Smash GC.
“Looking ahead, I am incredibly honored and excited to officially take on the Captaincy role for the 2026 season,” Gooch said. “I’m excited and ready to embrace this new leadership and career challenge. I’m eager to build on the competitive standard Brooks established and work with our players to lead this team into this next successful chapter.”
