Brooks Koepka applied for reinstatement with the PGA Tour on Friday just weeks after departing LIV Golf, according to multiple reports.

The five-time major winner announced on December 23 that he was "amicably" parting ways with the Saudi-backed league despite having a year remaining on his contract. That immediately spurred speculation that Koepka would seek to return to the PGA Tour, where the 35-year-old did not renew his membership before the 2022-23 season, according to ESPN.
