Brooks Koepka has reapplied for the PGA Tour membership. Two weeks after leaving LIV Golf, the golfer is now seeking a return to the PGA Tour and has reportedly taken the first step to get back on his former circuit.

The 5-time major champion shocked the golfing world in December, last month following his exit from LIV Golf. The 35-year-old was one of the top names on the PGA Tour who defected to LIV Golf in 2022 on a deal worth more than $100 million.

On the Public Investment Fund (PIF) backed tour, Koepka would enjoy plenty of success. He would become the first golfer to win 5 times on LIV Golf and became the first LIV Golfer to win a major championship as he won the PGA Championship in 2023.

Koepka would struggle with form in 2025. He would post just 2 top-10 finishes on LIV Golf and missed the cut in 3 major championships. Earlier in March, the former World No.1 had expressed that he was unsure about his future after reports emerged that he wanted to return to the PGA Tour.

Just before Christmas, reports emerged that Koepka had left LIV Golf. According to a statement by the Saudi-backed tour, the American international would leave due to some family reasons.

In October, he and his wife, Jena Sims, received some tragic news. In a post on Instagram, Sims revealed that she had suffered a miscarriage and lost their unborn baby at 16 weeks.

On Friday, reports from ESPN claimed that the golfer has applied for his reinstatement on the PGA Tour. This is the first major step in his potential return to the PGA Tour.

Koepka did not reapply for his PGA Tour membership during the 2022-23 season. His last PGA Tour event was the Valspar Championship in March 2022, where he finished tied for 12th.

Brian Rolapp, the new PGA Tour CEO, will be reviewing his case and making a decision. Woods, who serves as one of the player-directors and heads the Future Competition Committee, will also be involved in this and have discussions with Rolapp.
