Was there more to Brooks Koepka’s mutual parting with LIV Golf? While Brooks Koepka cited family reasons and a desire to stay closer to home as key factors behind his exit, Martin Kaymer believes the shift had been building for a while.

The tour announced Monday that Koepka will play at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines in January under the “Returning Member Program.” Koepka departed for LIV Golf after the 2022 U.S. Open. However, he split with the Saudi-backed circuit in December and recently applied for reinstatement with the tour.
