“He wants to come back. I will say that: I believe he really wants to come back and play the Tour.” Yes, this was what golf veteran Fred Couples had said when he was asked about what he thinks of LIV defectors returning to the PGA TOUR. Couples’ comments sparked speculation about Brooks Koepka’s future plans, and now Koepka has finally broken his silence. When asked about the rumors, Koepka said, “Everybody seems to have their own opinion, and no one asks me.”

He acknowledged that he had spoken to Fred Couples but didn’t delve into details. Koepka remained noncommittal about his future, stating, “I’ve got a contract obligation out here to fulfill, and then we’ll see what happens.” For now, Koepka is focused on improving his game, saying, “Right now, I’m just focused on how do I play better, how do I play better in the majors, how does this team win, and then we’ll figure out next year and how to play better again. It’s the same thing. It’s just a revolving cycle.”

Koepka’s future with LIV Golf indeed remains shrouded in uncertainty, and his latest comments have done little to clarify the situation. “I’ve got nothing. Everybody else seems to know more than I do,” Koepka said, fueling speculation about his plans. Another thing worth noting is that Koepka is the only player on the LIV Golf circuit who still doesn’t wear his team-branded gear, which has only added to the whispers about his potential departure.

With conflicting reports about when his contract is set to expire, the next few months are likely to be very interesting. To add more fuel to the fire, other golfers are also joining the debate and it sure is becoming interesting.

Phil Mickelson’s comments on Brooks Koepka’s PGA Tour rumors

Phil Mickelson has lashed out at Fred Couples, labeling him a “low-class jerk” for claiming that Brooks Koepka wants to quit LIV Golf and return to the PGA Tour. Couples, a staunch critic of the LIV breakaway, had said that he believes Koepka wants to come back to the PGA Tour, citing their frequent conversations. However, Mickelson took issue with Couples’ comments, saying that they were damaging to Koepka’s relationships and narrative control. As Mickelson put it, “If it’s not true, he damaged a relationship which he cares about. If it’s true he took away Brooks’ control of the timeline and narrative. Either way, this is a low-class jerk move by Fred.”

The drama unfolding around Koepka’s future is just one aspect of the larger power struggle between LIV Golf and the PGA Tour. With rumors swirling about potential reunification deals and contract expirations, players like Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau are finding themselves at the center of speculation. DeChambeau, in particular, has doubled down on his commitment to LIV Golf, saying, “It’s going to grow at an exponential pace for years to come, and we aren’t going anywhere… My goal is to create this lasting legacy where we impact millions and millions of golfers’ lives around the world. That should tell you everything you should know.” Well, fans will surely be keeping a close eye on LIV golfers’ next move, but what do you think will happen? Let us know in the comment section below!
