Overview
- CEO Scott O’Neil says talks with OWGR chair Trevor Immelman are ongoing, with a solution for ranking points hoped for the 2026 season.
- LIV confirms a switch from 54 to traditional 72 holes starting in 2026, a move pitched as competitive and commercial and viewed as helpful for OWGR eligibility.
- Sports Business Journal reports at least four sources indicate Brooks Koepka may skip the 2026 LIV season despite being under contract, and O’Neil said only that Koepka is "signed for 2026" without further assurance.
- If Koepka sits out, he would retain entry to all four majors via his 2023 PGA Championship win and could seek a PGA Tour return after a one‑year suspension from his last LIV event, per prior precedents.
- LIV will stop covering DP World Tour fines on January 1, 2026, and O’Neil signals a roster pivot toward developing younger players as the league emphasizes global expansion.
