The biggest off-course story in golf this year may have just gotten bigger. Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed have both departed LIV Golf ahead of the 2026 season, beginning the process of rejoining the PGA Tour. The moves represent the first high-profile defections from the Saudi-backed league and raise significant questions about player movement, contractual … Read more
Bryson DeChambeau is making a compelling case for being the most dominant player in LIV Golf — and possibly the most in-form golfer on the planet right now. The American won back-to-back individual titles at LIV Golf Singapore and LIV Golf South Africa in March, extending a run of form that has been nothing short … Read more
