Brooks Koepka might be looking for a way out of LIV Golf. At least that’s what the tabloids say. Even Scott O’Neil hinted at that. With the LIV Golf CEO not confident about him signing a new contract, maybe the 5-time major winner might be looking for a return to the PGA Tour. But a PGA Tour veteran doesn’t care what Koepka wants.
Speaking to Eamon Lynch of Golfweek, he said, “F*** them. They made their choice. If they’re that important, how come no fans followed them to LIV?”
Lynch didn’t name the veteran, probably because they didn’t want the spotlight. But they weren’t shy to express their opinion. They believe that the LIV Golf pros dug their own grave by skipping the PGA Tour for LIV Golf. Anyone who is looking for a way back needs to go through the tough tests that lie ahead of them.

It’s unclear what must have driven their strong opinion against Koepka’s possible return. But Laurie Canter’s recent actions might have played a role in them. After leaving LIV Golf, the English enjoyed an excellent season on the DP World Tour. He also earned his PGA Tour card. But once Scott O’Neil called again, Canter backed out of it and joined LIV Golf again.
The veteran pro might not have faith in Koepka’s intent as well. Then again, who would? He hasn’t clarified his intent so far. The 35-year-old has not commented on whether he would like to stay with LIV Golf or move to the PGA Tour.

But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t said anything at all that might cause a rift. In fact, Brooks Koepka released a carefully curated statement when he was questioned about a possible move.

Is a return to the PGA Tour on Brooks Koepka’s mind?
Brooks Koepka’s possible return to the PGA Tour has been the talk of the town for a few months now. In fact, back in March 2025, even Fred Couples decided to share his opinion about it.
The golf legend was confident that he knew what was going on in Koepka’s head. He said, “He wants to come back. I will say that I believe he really wants to come back and play the Tour.” He believed that the LIV Golf pro craved a possible return to his former employer.
Koepka was asked to respond to Couples’ statement. And he made a peculiar reply, “I’ve got a contract obligation out here to fulfill, and then we’ll see what happens. I don’t know where I’m going, so I don’t know how everybody else does.”

Neither did he debunk Couples’ claims, nor did he clarify that he wanted to move to the PGA Tour. Even in March 2025, Brooks Koepka was still uncertain if he wanted to stay in LIV Golf or not. After another winless season, we doubt there’s anything that might have convinced him to sign a new contract with them.
