Several former LIV Golf players may be returning to the PGA Tour ahead of the 2027 season. Brooks Koepka was the first to return but struggled with his performance, finishing the season at No. 94 in the FedEx Cup. Patrick Reed, who opted not to renew with LIV, is leading on the European tour and is likely to secure a PGA Tour card. Others, such as Eugenio Chacarra and Bernd Wiesberger, have also left LIV and are among those aiming for a return. The PGA Tour is assessing its future with a revamped schedule and postseason format while LIV Golf faces challenges without its previous funding sources.

- 4:22 PMYahoo Sports — LIV players returning to PGA Tour has been a trickle. The tour might need to plan for more
"Any notion that players lured away by the Saudi Arabia riches of LIV Golf would never return to the PGA Tour doesn't hold much water these days. Five months from now, there could be as many as five ex-LIV players teeing it up at the season opener in California. Brooks Koepka was the first to return, and that didn't go the way he had hoped.
