Of course, it\u2019s become the week\u2019s big talking point in the golf world, overshadowing LIV Golf\u2019s 2026 preview event in Florida.<\/p>\n
Tiger Woods had his say<\/a>. Bryson DeChambeau had his say<\/a>. Sergio Garcia had his say<\/a>. And now PGA Tour stars are starting to have their say.<\/p>\n Notably, in the past couple of days, Rickie Fowler and Wyndham Clark. And the pair are locking horns on the subject.<\/p>\n Fowler, having helped his New York Golf Club team to a comfortable victory over Woods\u2019 Jupiter Links in their first TGL match of the 2026 season, said he thinks \u201cit\u2019s great\u201d that Koepka will be back competing on the PGA Tour this year.<\/p>\n Then a rather surprising admission. \u201cHe\u2019s wanted to be back playing with us for quite a while,\u201d Fowler remarked. \u201cI\u2019m very happy that we\u2019re back in the position where we\u2019re at now.\u201d<\/p>\n Clark, meanwhile, is not quite looking at it the same way. <\/p>\n Perhaps, understandably, that had he taken the huge signing on check dangled by LIV Golf, he would have been able to do the same as Koepka and return to the PGA Tour under the Returning Member Program. <\/p>\n \u201cI personally really like Brooks, and I think it\u2019s ultimately really good for the PGA Tour,\u201d Clark said on\u00a0SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio<\/a>. \u201cBut also a guy that had an opportunity to go to LIV, it\u2019s kind of frustrating that he\u2019s able to get the cake and also eat it.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you would have told me that I could have gone for a year-and-a-half, make a boatload of money and then be able to come back, play on the tour, I think almost everyone would have done that.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Rickie](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/rickie-fowler-tgl.jpg\")
