'I think the PGA Tour is run beautifully,” Brooks Koepka previously said. Now he's leaving the PGA Tour to join the new LIV Golf series backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, according to reports.
Four-time major champion Brooks Koepka plans to leave the PGA Tour to join the new LIV Golf series backed by Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, according to reports.
“Money isn’t going to change my life,” Koepka said in 2020 about non-PGA Tour golf leagues. “There’s something to be said about freedom of playing. I get to choose. To me, it’s not worth it. I’m happy with how things are. When life is good — and it’s real good — you don’t want to change it. I think the PGA Tour is run beautifully.”
Koepka also pushed back on the press for asking him questions about LIV Golf during the U.S. Open last week. The LIV Golf International Series was founded by former pro golfer Greg Norman and aims to challenge the PGA Tour. The league is an eight-tournament circuit that features seven regular-season tournaments and one team event in October — events will be played in places including New Jersey, Boston, Chicago, Bangkok, Saudi Arabia and Miami.
According to a PGA Tour statement, players who participate in LIV Golf events will be banned from PGA Tour events.
