PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp stated that there are currently no plans for any additional Returning Member Program to allow LIV players back on the PGA Tour. With the conclusion of LIV's 2026 season, many players remain under contract and face suspensions. Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka is the only LIV player to have rejoined the PGA Tour, having successfully navigated the prior program. Events leading to a potential future for LIV players are uncertain as PGA Tour moves toward a two-track model in 2028, setting the stage for a season that could redefine player pathways.
