Im not suggesting they wouldnt. Im reminding those that think $5m in fine and loss of a potential magical $50m is nothing for someone who got triple that to leave
NEWS Brooks Koepka Back on PGA Tour?
Brooks seemingly getting to have his cake and eat it too. Huge win for him.
Yeah. The second line I. The “path” explicitly says that. Major winners only.
Yep, and now the path is there for anyone else wanting to do the same thing
Majors and Players. Just for completeness sake.
Adios to LIV
As long as you won a major or the Players in the last 3 years.
correct, thats what I read

I like that the 5 million penalty is a charitable donation that the player gets to designate which also means that they get to right off against future or past earning earnings

I was thinking the same thing…but I suppose we are in the minority here.
Honestly I could really care less if those who left are able to come back. It’s not going to change how much I watch golf on tv or not. It’s sports and these athletes are catered to beyond belief.

They did put a Feb 2 clock on it I wonder if that was to try to tempt Rahm and Bryson to jump now too
The Brooks Koepka Foundation is going to get a big infusion of cash. Not a joke

Definitely trying to sway some guys back with that little tidbit. Could possibly make for a few interesting weeks here.
Definitely. Feb 2 is just before LIV 2026 gets started. So to me it’s “move now or wait at least a year”.
He seems ok with it
“The penalty is significant but I understand why they’ve done it. It hurts but it’s supposed to,” Koepka told Golfweek in a Monday phone call. “I’ve got a lot of work to do with the players and I want to do that one-on-one. I want to have those conversations, but behind closed doors."
Genuinely shocked he’s not getting a year suspension. Have to wonder what Bryson, Rahm, and Cam Smith are thinking right now.

The funny thing is its worded as a threat but if they wanted to come back they would let them I guarantee it

Assuming it is set up as a legit 401C3 I am ok with that assuming he actually does good work with itThe Brooks Koepka Foundation is going to get a big infusion of cash. Not a joke

I bet we don't hear about LIV getting OWGR points until after Feb 2nd.

Im actually shocked and happy he acknowledged the need to talk to the players. Normally I would think he would approach it as "who gives a ****"
Yeah that’s hardly some slap on wrist. That’s a pretty significant chunk of change. Maybe not for Brooks and such though.
Completely agree. They aren't going to keep guys with star power away. They can posture on that all they want lol but definitely a statement to make them think hard about it.
