“A right moment” – Brooks Koepka leaves LIV Golf, but what next?

40 comments

1. Brooks who? Never heard of him.

2. In my mind brooks is thinking ahead qualifying for the Masters — and Open — more than anything as his exemptions are closing and it’s not looking like he is going to find a way in playing at Liv.
   Livs schedule was supposed to be additive but because they refused to work together instead has become a tour that travels the world — and now plays 4 rounds. And the Tour has mostly matched purses and it does not seem Liv will give him another giant bonus to mope around and play mediocre golf.
   So put all that together and here we are.

3. Brrrrrooooooookkksssssiiiieeeeeeee !!! Go away….

4. A seemingly bitter person and kind of boring man so I'm glad he's leaving as there are more exciting players to be in LIV. Wish him the best!

5. BK had the time after recent marriage, got the money, and waited for OWGR ranking which likely prompted his change of mind since he is getting older. If you watched LIV, his devotion to family saw less practicing and it was evident and frustrating to watch as we was not in the mix. I think traveling around the world was not to his liking, but he will have to put in a lot of work to be competitive in the top 50 even if he goes back to the PGA. It would not be surprising to me that he plays here and there until he finds his game to light a fire under him. I think the anti-LIV trollers will proclaim the collapse of LIV, but it is likely culling the herd due to lack of performance. The recruiting of big names is also negotiating with team captains to move on to make room for new stars on the international stage. If anything LIV paid a bonus to BK to leave and the PGA is still reticent.

6. Does his pga championships qualify him to play the pga tour?

7. Why did he leave and exhibition tour team/Golf concept that will not work no world golf rankings points and once you get you know 20 30 4050 $80 million. What’s the point live? Golf will fail at some point. The team Golf’s Truxion is ridiculous. I’m glad to see him bail out of a sinking ship.

8. For the highest level competitors, LIV is boring. It’s like being put out to pasture with a load of cash in your bank account.

9. when it's all about the money and you have it all than other things start to matter every payed golfer playing is only there for the money and the more money they get the merrier they are

10. Leave him to play by himself for the rest of his days. He can go home to his money after every round

11. His body is banjaxed , add to the fact that he’s not the corporate league man or Mr Golf

12. Let's go Brooksie 💥🏌‍♂️💥

13. Clearly he couldn't take any more of the insufferable Bryson DeShampoo 💥🏌‍♂️💥

14. LIV will skin him alive financially. The contracts are just about written in blood. Did sod-all in LIV anyway.

15. "The time with the family" is the perfect explanation/excuse for BOTH Koepka and the PGA Tour. Everyone knows PGA want him back on the PGA tour but they have to show that he had to pay a price for his departure (1 year suspension). Koepka not playing on LIV in 2026 to spend time with his family matches his reasoning for leaving LIV, it could also help him with any lingering physical condition. And 2026 not playing is the 1 year suspension that meets PGA's penalty reference before returning to the PGA in 2027.

16. Brooks is washed. He knows he can’t compete on LIV anymore. No great loss for LIV. LIV is going to continue to explode in 2026!

17. Will not move any needle. Don't think anybody really cares. He has zero charisma.

18. He depends on his talent like most of LIV but most are lazy and don’t have to practice because of all the money so after while it’s Hollow and boring

19. You've got a right to shut up

20. I am a huge fan of Brooks but let’s face it, he went to LIV since he thought his body as done competing and LIV offered more family time playing 3 rounds instead of 4.

21. Just because he lose every weekends Live don't want to pay him same kind money .. so

22. He is done

23. Hope he never gets to play in the PGA tour again,suspension should be for life

24. LIV is changing their format to comply with OWR so their adding more time on the course, making it more similar to the PGA elevated events. LIV is breaking their contracts so he shouldn't be owing them anything!

25. They better not let him in the pga. He crapped the bed, dont let him back, please!

26. Joke Tour….has no class…

27. …….who? Never heard of him

28. The worst thing i have ever seen is the joke of a douchbag reporter making comments he has no clue of and nobody cares. What a fing joke

29. Isn’t this what Brooks said when joined LIV? Hmmmm

30. Liv was doomed from the beginning. Paying hundreds of millions to essentially just “show up”……I don’t think so.

31. Maybe he can join the LPGA.

32. He’ll never be happy anywhere

33. Pro golfers play for fame and money but with fame you earn money . The PGA gives a pro both. LIV just offers money. No one will remember an LIV champion but everyone remembers PGA Winners of major tournaments. Just look at the historical champions of PGA.

34. His sold his soul and career to cash in on Camel Jockey golf. Now he finally discovered how empty his decision left him.

35. It's 54 golf. !

36. He'll always be known as a saudi slave like the others

37. He really hasn’t done much on LIV, the last couple of years.

38. Are there people talking in the background at this news studio during a broadcast?

39. They need to make it easier to quit and get these guys back on the real tour. It's the only way that the PGA becomes the only relevant tour

40. Don't go into any Saudi embassies or consulates. You might not make it out – except in pieces.
