Woods Clears Path for Koepka's PGA Tour Return
Tiger Woods helped craft the PGA Tour’s Returning Member Program to reintegrate LIV Golf major winners, including Brooks Koepka, with conditions such as no sponsor exemptions to signature events, no FedEx Cup bonuses in 2026, a $5 million fine, and five years in the equity program. Koepka’s return would be merit-based and additive for the Tour and its fans, though some restrictions apply. The plan also hints at potential returns for Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith, but Woods indicated the Tour is unlikely to actively pursue them right away as talks toward unified competition continue.
