Since LIV Golf enters the storyline of golf, things have changed drastically. Many golfers left PGA Tour and joined the Saudi-backed circuit, despite scrutiny. However, the American Tour and LIV rivalry has taken a new turn now and then. And it has happened again. After the release of ‘Full Swing’ on Netflix, a Twitter post from Fire Pit Collective became the town’s talk. According to the post, the LIV defector Brooks Koepka might return to the PGA Tour. This interesting turn of events has prompted the fans to react to the news, make speculations, and have fun with it.
The golf world drops speculations about the possible shift of Brooks Koepka
Whenever it comes to the LIV golfers, the fans have always given mixed reactions. The players have received criticism. Fans did not like how many golfers joined Greg Norman’s Tour because one had to play fewer holes and win tons of prize money. Hence, when Fire Pit Collective tweeted, which has been removed from Twitter since then, the predictions from Alan Shipnuck about who would make a return to PGA Tour from LIV Golf, not every fan could agree with him.

“I’m hearing a lot of rumblings that Brooks Koepka has buyer’s remorse,” Shipnuck stated in the #AskAlan segment on the firepitcollective.com. “(Koepka) took the money when his brittle body was still being put back together, and in private he has confided to folks he wasn’t sure if he would ever get fully healthy again,” he added. “But now Koepka is feeling frisky and supposedly rethinking his career choice.”
Soon after they tweeted Brooks’ possible return to PGA Tour, fans couldn’t help themselves from penning their opinions.

U must mean the first liv player to come back to the korn ferry and play their way back to the tour 😂 I don’t think they’d get their spot back right away unless they were a past champ

How dangerous might it be to break his contract?

I think there's only 2 things that could happen to LIV in 2023. It either succeeds far more than it has (i.e. becomes a viable business), or it's done (Saudi's pull the pin and/or players leave). The status quo is not sustainable

Notably, one user even pointed out that leaving LIV will be more challenging than leaving the PGA Tour. He said, “The problem is the LIV contracts are far more onerous than the PGA Tour member regs about which the departing players complained. It won’t be easy to leave LIV without LIV’s consent.” And it makes a lot of sense. Earlier, there was some chatter of Dustin Johnson returning to Jay Monahan’s Tour, but time will tell.
Is Brooks Koepka planning to return to the PGA Tour soon?
The four-time major championship winner, Koepka, is heading the team Smash GC in 2023, the same as last season. Many of LIV Golf league’s videos on the same have been released already.
