LIV Golf's Brooks Koepka was seen mingling with PGA Tour rivals at a TGL match between the Jupiter Links Golf Club and The Bay Golf Club at the SoFi Center on Tuesday, February 25. The tech-infused golf league, co-founded by Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, has only PGA Tour players in the six TGL teams, making Koepka's appearance noteworthy.
In the pictures from the recent match, Brooks Koepka was seen engaging in friendly conversations with Shane Lowry, Max Homa, Kevin Kisner, Wyndham Clark, and Tom Kim. Koepka's wife Jena Sims was also present. Popular golf account NUCLR GOLF shared pictures on X and wrote:

Earlier, players who had joined LIV Golf were dropped from TGL's roster. Jon Rahm was among the first players to have committed to the TGL but was dropped after he joined the Saudi-backed Tour in 2024. Similarly, Tyrrell Hatton, a member of Rory McIlroy's Boston Common Golf Club, was dropped after he joined LIV Golf.
Brooks Koepka's presence at the TGL event comes after the recent high-profile meeting between the PGA Tour Commissioner, Jay Monahan, and PIF Governor, Yasir Al-Rumayyan, to solve the issues between the two golf tours.
