TODAY: NEW DETAILS EMERGE ON BROOKS KOEPKA PGA TOUR RETURN AFTER HOLIDAY SEASON BREAK

The PGA Tour issues a cryptic statement as Brooks Koepka walks away from his 100 million LIV Golf contract.

TODAY: New details emerge on Brooks Koepka PGA Tour return after holiday season break
Brooks Koepka might take to rejoin the PGA Tour early

The PGA Tour's response to Brooks Koepka ditching LIV Golf was kind of weirdly lukewarm.

Brooks is a great player, and we wish him and his family all the best, the PGA Tour said in a statement. We still give golfers the best place to play, compete, and make money.

Sources say that Koepka told the PGA Tour he was leaving LIV Golf before the announcement on Tuesday. He famously left the PGA for LIV back in 2022 for a reported $100 million. But the exact amount he took home from LIV is still up in the air. Koepka was one of a bunch of big-name golfers who took Saudi money to leave the PGA Tour, which then suspended them.

If he wants to rejoin the PGA, Koepka didn't renew his membership before the 2022-23 season. So, he'll have to ask to be reinstated, which will start a disciplinary process. The board and some player directors will be involved, but it won't be public.

Fans seem to think he's coming back to the PGA.

The PGA Tour put out its statement right after Koepka's announcement on Tuesday.

Brooks is going to win a major soon, one fan wrote. He'll be back on the PGA Tour ASAP.

Another fan asked, Why would you even say this if you're not bringing him back?

Koepka had a year left on his LIV deal but wanted to quit to spend more time with his family.

Brooks will be leaving LIV Golf, his management team said in a statement released by LIV Golf. He's thankful to Yasir Al-Rumayyan, Scott O'Neil, his teammates, and the fans.

Family is what's important to Brooks, and he thinks now is the right time to be home more. He'll still support LIV Golf and hopes they do well. Brooks still loves golf and will let fans know what he's doing.

This sudden departure comes at a tough time for Koepka and his wife, Jena Sims, who recently lost their second child.

Sims, 36, shared on Instagram that they were heartbroken after finding out at 16 weeks that their baby's heart had stopped.

"This is the worst pain," she wrote. We are so sad, but we still want to give Crew a sibling someday.

The couple got married in 2022 and already have a two-year-old son named Crew, who was born six weeks early and spent 20 days in intensive care.

Sims, a Sports Illustrated model, is often seen supporting her husband, like at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in St Andrews.

Despite all this, Koepka is trying to figure out how to get back to playing regular tournaments. He might have to sit out a year from the PGA Tour, starting from his last LIV event in August 2025.

That could keep him off the U.S. circuit until the September 2026 FedEx Cup Fall series.

But he could play on the DP World Tour right away since he's still a member and isn't banned.

Koepka can still play in all four major championships until 2028, giving him a place to play while he's not allowed on the PGA Tour.

KENDRICK BOURNE REVEALS THE STRICT DISCIPLINE THAT SPARKED THE PATRIOTS' TURNAROUND

Kendrick Bourne speaks out! Discover why he thinks Mike Vrabel is the right fit and why he’s eyeing a 2026 return to the 49ers.

Kendrick Bourne tops the list of receivers San Francisco wants to retain

Kendrick Bourne’s path through the NFL has zigzagged all over – some highs, plenty of lows, and now, another fresh start. He took a shot with the Patriots in 2025 after building his reputation with the 49ers. But honestly, that New England chapter ended before it even got going. Bourne didn’t just slip out the back door. He left with a lot to say about what he saw brewing in New England as Mike Vrabel took charge.

Once Vrabel arrived, you didn’t need to listen for rumours about a culture shift; it was obvious. Bourne noticed right away. He’s already got his eyes set on home, back with the 49ers, but even from a distance, he could see the Patriots were heading somewhere new long before their record showed it.

Talking about his exit from New England, Bourne didn’t sugarcoat anything. Losing the job itself wasn’t the hardest part. What stung was watching Vrabel put his stamp on the team, laying down the kind of structure and discipline Bourne knew would eventually pay off. He was blunt; things just felt different under Vrabel compared to before.

He put it like this: “After going through OTAs and camp with Vrabes, you just knew. Nothing against Mayo, but he just wasn’t ready. With Vrabes, the structure was totally different in how we studied, how we met, and just the whole vibe. Honestly, I was sad about it.”

This wasn’t just a guy being bitter. Bourne respected what was happening in New England and genuinely wished he could have been part of it, especially with a Super Bowl push on the horizon. He even admitted he’d wanted to be in that locker room when the Patriots finally made it back to the big stage.

Now he’s back with the 49ers, hoping to stick around. At 30, Bourne wants a new contract in San Francisco. He had a solid 2025, racked up 551 yards, picked up a contract bonus, and gave the offence a spark. The 49ers needed reliable hands, and Bourne delivered. He’s clear: he wants to stay, but only if the deal makes sense for him.

So now, the offseason gets interesting. Bourne knows where he fits best, but he’s still keeping an eye on what’s building in New England. That mix of looking back and chasing what’s next makes this part of his career one to pay attention to.

MRI SCARE: STEVE KERR ADMITS STEPH CURRY’S "NEBULOUS" KNEE MAY REQUIRE SECOND IMAGING

Warriors crisis! Discover why Steph Curry may need another MRI and how Jimmy Butler’s ACL tear shifts GSW to the play-in.

Warriors star to undergo new MRI as knee pain lingers

The Warriors have been scrambling since Jimmy Butler went down with that ACL tear. He’s done for the year, and now Stephen Curry has to carry the offence on his own.

Right after the All-Star break, the Warriors are sitting in eighth place out West. That’s already shaky, and now Curry’s dealing with a knee injury too. The team calls it runner's knee; basically, he just needs time to heal. But then Steve Kerr gave an update that didn’t exactly inspire confidence.

Turns out, Curry might need another MRI. He tried to push through a full workout, but his knee just wasn’t right. Now, they’re waiting on imaging to figure out how long he’ll actually be out.

Meanwhile, Kristaps Porzingis still hasn’t suited up for Golden State. If Curry misses significant time, everyone else needs to step up in a big way. The Warriors already have one of the most average offences in the league, 15th at the break. No curry, and things get ugly fast. He’s already missed 16 games this season, and the team went 6-10 without him.

Losing Butler already knocked the Warriors out of serious contention. They’re pretty much locked into the play-in. Unless Curry suddenly goes supernova, it’s hard to see them catching the Thunder or making any real noise out West.

So, what’s next? The front office tried to swing big at the deadline, going after Giannis Antetokounmpo, though who knows if the Bucks ever really considered it. Giannis stayed put, but you can bet the Warriors will chase him again this summer.

If that doesn’t work, they’ll turn to other stars. They know the championship window is closing with Curry still on the roster. He’s still elite, but time’s ticking.

LeBron James even comes up as a possibility. If he declines his player option and hits free agency, maybe he’d team up with Curry for one last run at a ring.

Most likely, though, Golden State will look at trades instead of free agents to try to reload. Curry’s health isn’t what it used to be, and the Warriors know they have to make the most of whatever prime he’s got left.
