LIV's Koepka bemused by PGA return rumours
The Straits Times
|March 13, 2025
While speculation has been swirling about LIV golfer Brooks Koepka's potential return to the PGA Tour, the five-time Major champion insisted on March 12 that nothing is firmed up yet.
Eyebrows have been raised since 1992 Masters champion Fred Couples said on a sports radio talk show over a week ago that Koepka "really wants to come back" to the PGA Tour. In response, fellow golf great Phil Mickelson, who is also with LIV, labelled Couples' comments as a "low-class jerk move".
Ahead of LIV Singapore, Koepka told a press conference at the Sentosa Golf Club that nothing is certain.
"Everybody seems to have their own opinion, they don't ask me. I've talked to Fred quite a bit but we don't go into too much detail about what's going on," said the former world No. 1, who will be looking to retain his title at the March 14-16 LIV Singapore.
"As I've said before, I'm not in those rooms, I've got a contract obligation out here to fulfil and then we'll see what happens.
"But I don't know where I'm going, so I don't know why everyone else does."
