On Friday, Brooks Koepka applied for reinstatement to the PGA TOUR, according to ESPN. The five-time major champion left LIV Golf at the end of 2025 and has yet to announce anything about his plans for the future, including where he was going to play golf. Now, there’s only one question in need of answering: will the TOUR welcome him back with open arms?

The last TOUR event Koepka played in before leaving for LIV in 2022 was the Valspar Championship in mid-March. Since then, he’s collected five LIV wins and a major victory at the PGA Championship in 2023.

According to ESPN, now that Koepka has applied for reinstatement, the TOUR will start the process that includes "thoughtful input from the board, including player directors."
