PGA Tour avslöjade den 24 februari 2026 de välgörenhetsorganisationer som gynnas av Brooks Koepkas 5 miljoner dollar-donation, som krävdes vid hans återkomst via Returning Member Program. Fördelningen inkluderar 1 miljon dollar till Nicklaus Children’s Health Care Foundation och 1,5 miljoner dollar uppdelat mellan tio andra organisationer. De återstående 2,5 miljonerna kommer att stödja ändamål valda av behöriga PGA Tour-medlemmar.

Brooks Koepka, som lämnade LIV Golf efter fyra säsonger och återvände till PGA Tour i januari 2026 via Returning Member Program, gick med på en 5 miljoner dollar stor välgörenhetsbidrag som en viktig förutsättning för sin återkomst utan avstängning. PGA Tour meddelade donationens mottagare den 24 februari 2026, samtidigt som Koepka deltog i Cognizant Classic in The Palm Beaches, hans hemortstävling.

Vad folk säger

Reaktionerna på X kring tillkännagivandet av Brooks Koepkas 5 miljoner dollar-donation är polariserade. Positiva svar hyllar välgörenhetsorganisationerna, inklusive Nicklaus Children’s Health Care och St. Jude, och berömmer Koepka för att ge tillbaka. Skeptiska och negativa åsikter dominerar, och kallar det utpressning från PGA Tour, utpressning eller hyckleri med tanke på tidigare kritik mot LIV-fonder som 'blodspengar'. Användare ifrågasätter publiciteten, skattefördelarna och fördelningen som väljs av medlemmar.
