Wonder if he’ll have to go to Q School to get back on the PGA Tour since they suspended all the LIV guys

Seems like he’s a non-factor these days. Mostly injured

2023 PGA win was pretty incredible

But at only 35 he’s one of those players that already seems old

He’s letting his fitness slip a little bit. You can tell the guy looks soft now almost like a regular Joe. Some golfers can get away with that, most can not I would say.

Brooks applied for PGA Tour reinstatement.

If he gets it I’m sure a lot of them will want to come back eventually.

Let him back right now

Tiger might pull some strings
Seems like there’s not as much bitterness anymore between the two tours like there was at the beginning.

I think when guys like Rahm went. And Rahm and Brooks won majors as part of the LIV Tour, combined with unlimited LIV money, the PGA Tour knew it was never going to beat this guys or cause them to fold up shop.

Brooks gets okay to come back to PGA Tour.

New “Returning Member Program”

Others will likely follow. In particular Rahm, Bryson and Cameron Smith eligible. All past major winners.

Program window starts today and closes February 2.

Kind of an insignificant guy to come back. He couldn’t care less about tournaments outside of majors. He plays the regular tournaments but almost all the time he shows up with zero fks to give. Remember having him to win some tournament and he was leading going to the last few, hit one bad shot and packed up shop. Dechambeau would be a much bigger guy to return. I wouldn’t suspend them. I’d ,eat them right back so more come back. Hit them with a monetary fine and call it a day.

And to be honest on Koepka I’m not sure what’s left in the tank. Got paid, got the one major while on LIV. Will be interesting to see when he gets playing regularly again with legitimate competition and not somewhere you get paid no matter what. LIV is so strange, Cam Smith top of the world after winning The Open, takes the payday and he’s terrible now. Another DJ who played just for the money maybe.
