Koepka Returns to PGA Tour, Joins Cognizant Classic

Brooks Koepka, a five-time major champion, will compete in the Cognizant Classic, marking his return to the PGA Tour and his hometown event for the first time since 2022. This commitment follows his decision to leave LIV Golf, where he played for over three years, forfeiting the final year of his reported $125 million contract.

Koepka's return to the PGA Tour on January 12, 2026, comes with notable stipulations. He must pay a $5 million charitable donation and will not receive any payment from the FedEx Cup Bonus Program for the 2026 season. He is also ineligible for equity from the Player Equity Program for five years. Despite these penalties, Koepka can qualify for Signature Events through full-field tournaments like the Cognizant Classic.

The Cognizant Classic, scheduled for February 26 to March 1, 2026, at PGA National in Palm Beach Gardens, will also feature notable players such as Shane Lowry, Adam Scott, and Sahith Theegala. Joe Highsmith is the defending champion.
