Brooks Koepka, the first player to rejoin the PGA Tour on the “Returning Member Program’�, has expressed his excitement about his reentry to the golf tour. The program, introduced in January, allows players who have been away for at least two years for a major championship between 2022 and 2025 to return to the tour. Since his departure from LIV Golf in June 2022, Koppka was seen as a polarizing player who left the sport for the sport. Despite winning the 2023 PGA Championship and being runner-up at the Masters, KoEPka's performance in major championships has significantly decreased. He is currently ranked 221st in the world and more than three years from his last PGA win.
