Koepka returns to PGA Tour under new elite-return program

The PGA Tour has created a Returning Member Program to allow elite players like Brooks Koepka to rejoin after LIV Golf, with penalties including a $5 million charity contribution, no FedExCup money in 2026, no sponsor exemptions to big events, and no equity on the tour for five years. Koepka plans to return at the Farmers Insurance Open (Torrey Pines) on Jan. 29 and says he expects mixed receptions while needing to rebuild relationships with players hurt by his departure.
