Koepka<\/a>, who left LIV Golf at the end of 2025 to rejoin the PGA Tour<\/a>, was asked about the situation ahead of this week\u2019s Zurich Classic of New Orleans, the sole official team event of the PGA Tour season.\u00a0<\/p>\n While distancing himself from inside knowledge, the five-time major champion revealed he has checked in with former colleagues during the ongoing speculation.<\/p>\n “Yeah, I’m not there, so I can’t speak for anything they’re doing. I’ve talked to a few guys just through text, but that’s it. Everybody seems — as long as everybody is okay, we’re okay,” Koepka told reporters at TPC Louisiana.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Koepka spent four seasons on LIV Golf, winning five individual titles and captaining Smash GC before departing. The team has since rebranded to OKGC<\/a> this week under its new captain Talor Gooch.<\/p>\n Despite uncertainty, signs from within LIV Golf suggest operations continue as normal. Players and staff are reportedly proceeding with business as usual,<\/a> while recent communications from leadership have aimed to calm concerns.<\/p>\n LIV Golf CEO Scott O\u2019Neil circulated a memo<\/a> to players last week confirming the 2026 season will continue as planned. He also insisted the league is in its strongest position yet midway through its fifth campaign.<\/p>\n Financially, LIV Golf has shown notable growth. Revenue is believed to have doubled in 2025 compared to the previous year, with more than $100 million already generated during the early part of the 2026 season. Franchise profitability is also reportedly improving, with several teams and events now operating in the black, and ticket sales have also risen significantly year-on-year.<\/p>\n However, questions remain over the league\u2019s long-term model. Concerns persist around its reliance on a single funding source, as well as the balance between team branding and traditional competitive structures.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Jon Rahm<\/p>\n The PIF is estimated to have invested around $5 billion into LIV Golf since its inception, underpinning its $30 million tournament purses in 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n Should that support be withdrawn, industry figures continue to question how the league would maintain its current scale.<\/p>\n Bryson DeChambeau has since come out firing in an interview with Flushing It though, confirming he remains in talks to extend his contract<\/a> on LIV Golf, no matter what happens. DeChambeau admits he remains fully focused on his Crushers GC franchise and helping the league grow at large.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cAs long as LIV is here, I would figure out a way for it to make sense,\u201d said DeChambeau.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Koepka, meanwhile, has shifted focus back to the PGA Tour, making his return earlier this season through the circuit\u2019s newly introduced \u2018Returning Membership\u2019 program under CEO Brian Rolapp.\u00a0<\/p>\n Notably, Koepka was the only eligible LIV player to accept the offer by the 1 February deadline, with DeChambeau, Jon Rahm and Cameron Smith all opting to remain with LIV Golf.<\/p>\n Brooks Koepka<\/p>\n![\"Jon](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/rahmphone1.JPG\")
