Brooks Koepka unlikely to return to the PGA Tour before 2027, says Johnson Wagner

As talk builds around which PGA Tour players could make the move to LIV Golf in 2026, there’s also growing discussion about who might head back the other way.

Several high-profile contracts are set to run out in 2026, including those of Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka. With the PGA Tour enjoying a strong year in 2025, it’s no surprise that rumours are already swirling about which LIV players might look to return.

Jon Rahm is another name that comes up often. He hasn’t won since his Masters victory in 2023, and even though he did take home the individual title last season, many feel his career has lost some of its momentum.

Koepka finished 31st in the individual standings and was rarely in contention. His best result was a runner-up finish in Singapore, but overall, it was a far cry from his peak form.

That decline led Johnson Wagner to wonder if Koepka might be considering a return to the PGA Tour as he looks to get back on track.

With Rory McIlroy announcing plans for an extended break after another disappointing major season, Scottie Scheffler continued his strong year by picking up his third win of 2025 at The Travelers Championship.

PGA Tour return off the table for Brooks Koepka until 2027, says Johnson Wagner

With the PGA Tour continuing to gain ground on LIV Golf, players like Koepka might start looking to head back as their contracts wrap up. But according to Wagner, that’s not even a possibility until 2027.

Wagner spoke about it on Straight Facts Homie, saying: “What I’m seeing is that a lot of the guys are re-signing with LIV. Now, if a guy like Koepka, whose contract ends in 2026, were to want to come back, I think there’s got to be a path for those guys to come back and play on the PGA Tour.
