But he’s earned $37.9 million in career prize money to date on the PGA Tour, and the guaranteed money from LIV will likely be at least double, and possibly triple. The more legs you give it, the more you keep talking about it.’’ I’m tired of the conversations. Mickelson has reportedly been paid $200 million by LIV, Johnson a reported $125 million and DeChambeau $100 million. I’m tired of all this stuff.

Koepka is following in the footsteps of his brother, Chase, who played at the LIV Golf London event earlier this month. His next press conference in Brookline was all about the golf. He took time away from the Tour after the Masters, where he was hurt and missed the cut. Like many of the top players at The Country Club, he was asked various questions about his potential involvement; Koepka responded with the most emotion.

Last week at the U.S. Open, Koepka was not pleased with the line of questioning he received about LIV, but he was not adamant about his commitment to the PGA Tour, either. Rumors coursed the veins of the the 2022 U.S. Open at Brookline last week, suggesting Koepka will not be the last name announced ahead of the LIV Golf event set to be hosted in Portland next week. Koepka gives LIV Golf even more momentum as the PGA Tour attempts to rally the troops at the Travelers Championship this week. I'm tired of the conversations. Koepka is the second-highest ranked player to have joined the league. With Koepka's departure, LIV has rounded up all the PGA Tour villains. "As of last week," he said. I'm here at the U.S. Open.

Brooks Koepka, a four-time major winner, and another top-20 player committed to the new series Tuesday. In a players' meeting, the PGA Tour commissioner ...

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to disclose the details discussed. The PGA Tour’s latest proposal could stem the tide of rebels leaving its once placid nest. (Hint: It looks an awful lot like the LIV Golf schedule and prize money.) Golf is one of our more unpredictable sports. That tournament will be held after the mid-July British Open, the last of this year’s major men’s golf championships. I’ve said it since February at Riviera that I’m here to stay on the PGA Tour and nothing has changed.” A considerable majority of the best young players have remained loyal to the PGA Tour. Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Collin Morikawa and Justin Thomas — ranked first through fifth — affirm their commitment to the PGA Tour weekly. What’s all the hubbub, and how can you watch it? And Jay Monahan, the PGA Tour commissioner, has the framework of a plan to at least partially appease players attracted to a shorter schedule and greater earnings. A fear of getting left behind can pervade the group, as with any other, especially when players keep going back on their word. “Money isn’t going to change my life,” Koepka said at the time with a disdainful sneer. Once viewed as a hard-swinging, bulked up game-changing phenomenon who captivated younger fans with his audacious length off the tee, DeChambeau has tumbled from fourth in the rankings to 30th.

For those who know Koepka well, one brief moment at last week's U.S. Open offered early and irrefutable evidence that he had cast his lot with LIV Golf. He ...

The commissioner explained that the Tour is an association, a collective of members, and that a suit launched by one player against the Tour is a suit launched against (and defended by) every player. It’s a fraught question given the fear of legal exposure if the majors are perceived as helping the Tour shut out a competitor, but the answer was simple: nothing, for now. There were expressions of support for Monahan and faith in the changes he’s proposing, even from journeymen who will have to scrap harder for their crust. Beyond now having to labor at the beck and call of people he dislikes (with good reason, to be fair), the decision to join LIV Golf represents a humiliation for Koepka, though he will be loathe to admit it. For those who know Koepka well, one brief moment at last week’s U.S. Open offered early and irrefutable evidence that he had cast his lot with LIV Golf. He walked up to Mickelson on the range to offer him a fist bump and exchange a few words. Since Koepka does not suffer fools gladly and has been vocally contemptuous of LIV Golf’s leading figures — Greg Norman, Phil Mickelson and Golf Saudi CEO Majed Al Sorour — we must assume the offer was sufficiently high for him to sleep soundly.

Amid reports that he will be the next high-profile player to jump to LIV Golf, Brooks Koepka withdraws from this week's Travelers.

Though LIV has not officially announced Koepka as a new member, that revelation is expected to happen soon, with the first U.S. event scheduled for next week at Pumpkin Ridge outside of Portland, Ore.

Brooks Koepka would become one of the highest profile players poached by the league and would receive a substantial signing bonus for a 3-year commitment.

As for those defectors playing in the majors, that part is unknown. A combined $250 million in prize money will be rewarded. I'm tired of the conversations. Any tour players who compete in future LIV Golf tournaments will be dealt the same punishment. "To state for the record, once again, you all are absolutely wrong. A ruling from the R&A, which organizes next month's British Open, should come soon. I'm tired of all this stuff. Koepka, though, has lost that mystique that made him the most feared competitor when it came to majors from 2017-21. Koepka clearly was not in the mood to answer questions about LIV Golf last week at the U.S. Open, accusing the media for throwing a "black cloud" on the tournament. Chase tied for 33rd in LIV's first event and made $150,000. Mickelson reportedly is being paid $200 million and Johnson $125 million by LIV. He placed 55th in last weekend's U.S. Open after tying for 55th at the PGA Championship and missing the cut at the Masters. He is 26-over par in three majors this year.

Players such as Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus built the PGA Tour into the money machine it's become for pro golfers, and those abandoning it for the ...

Retaining the power to create another generation of absurdly wealthy and reasonably accomplished golfers will demand that leadership abandon etiquette and bring fighting to golf. How does that develop in a series of used-to-bes and never-weres and the assorted star being paid large guarantees to play in tournaments that have no history or inherent prestige? "Because it's the right thing to do," McIlroy said last week at the U.S. Open. "The PGA Tour was created by people. Then Tony George, who was in charge of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, chose to pursue a more powerful place in the sport. LIV players who’ve won the Masters in the past still will get their spots, but that’s only a handful of players. That’s a product of inflation in the world economy and growth of professional golf.

Brooks Koepka was a late-night withdrawal from the Travelers on Tuesday as he is reportedly on the verge of signing with LIV.
