In a recent interview with Sports Business Journal, LIV Golf CEO Scott O'Neil responded to rumors surrounding Brooks Koepka's future in the league. Speculation has been rife that the five-time major champion might sit out the 2026 season and return to the PGA Tour. O'Neil emphasized that while discussions are ongoing, no definitive decisions have been made.
Koepka's performance and contract status have been under scrutiny, especially following his significant win at the 2023 PGA Championship, which secures him entry into all major tournaments for the next five years. This win has raised questions about whether he might leverage his major exemptions to transition back to the PGA Tour.
O'Neil noted that LIV Golf is committed to supporting its players while also navigating the complexities of the current golf landscape, which includes the dynamics between LIV, the PGA Tour, and the DP World Tour. The CEO expressed optimism about the future of LIV Golf, highlighting the league's focus on developing young talent and expanding its global reach.
