Brooks Koepka has rejoined the PGA Tour through its Returning Members Program, a move that Cameron Smith, a prominent LIV Golf player, supports despite rejecting a similar offer himself. Smith emphasized his commitment to LIV while wishing Koepka well in his decision. The development comes amid broader shifts in professional golf, including LIV's recent awarding of Official World Golf Ranking points.
LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil assured staff that the season will proceed uninterrupted despite reports of potential funding cuts from backer Saudi Public Investment Fund. The league's event in Mexico City carried on with practice rounds and a pro-am as scheduled. Players dismissed rumors, citing ongoing support from PIF governor Yasir Al-Rumayyan.
