The PGA Tour announced a new Returning Member Program on January 12, 2026, allowing select LIV Golf defectors to rejoin with penalties. Five-time major winner Brooks Koepka became the first to accept, leaving LIV after four years. The move, led by new CEO Brian Rolapp, aims to strengthen the Tour amid ongoing competition with LIV.
The PGA Tour will begin publicizing speed-of-play statistics for Korn Ferry Tour players next month. The data, including average stroke times by shot type, follows a decision by the PGA Tour Policy Board last November. The move aims to provide context to fans and support players labeled as slow.
