Heading into its fifth season, a handful of LIV\u2019s original players have contracts that are up for renewal. Dustin Johnson announced recently that he had renewed his deal, and Bryson DeChambeau reportedly has been in talks on an extension for his contract that ends after 2026.<\/p>\n
Brooks Koepka was one of LIV\u2019s core signees when the league launched in 2022, but Koepka\u2019s deal is up following the 2026 season. At least four golf sources indicated there was a chance he may not play in the upcoming LIV season despite being under contract. Should he not play LIV, Koepka still would have access to each major, as well as the DP World Tour following his win at the 2023 PGA Championship.<\/p>\n
Asked if Koepka was playing on LIV in 2026, O\u2019Neil responded: \u201cI know you\u2019re not going to want to hear this one, just the individual players, and this goes back to our policy, we\u2019re just going to run it through. So, we haven\u2019t made any announcements on players, but he is signed for 2026.\u201d<\/p>\n
Former LIV players have competed on the PGA Tour after serving a one-year suspension after their final LIV tournament. But those players hadn\u2019t previously had a PGA Tour card like Koepka. Should Koepka fall under the same one-year suspension, he would be eligible for PGA Tour play in late August of 2026. However, it\u2019s still unclear the extent of disciplinary actions Koepka would face should he seek a return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Heading into its fifth season, a handful of LIV\u2019s original players have contracts that are up for renewal.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":337316,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-337315","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337315","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=337315"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/337315\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/337316"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=337315"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=337315"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=337315"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
