Brooks Koepka will leave the PGA Tour and join the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series.
Brooks Koepka will be heralded as the latest high-profile signing from the Saudi rogue circuit and will play in the first LIV Series event on American soil next week.
The four-time major winner will join his brother Chase on Greg Norman's getaway tour and will almost certainly be kicked off the PGA Tour.
Their debut at LIV in Portland, Oregon, will be another blow to the US Ryder Cup team, which will face five members of the 2018 and three 2021 squads and will be deemed ineligible for next year's match. In Rome.
Koepka, 32, has been in talks with the Saudi-funded series for months, and sources have confirmed the deal has finally gone through. Dustin Johnson, another former world No. 1, signed for an initial fee of £120 million ($150 million). Koepka will also have made a seven-figure sum when he takes his place alongside not only Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, Bryson DeChambeau, Patrick Reed, Lee Westwood, Ian Poulter, and Abraham Ancer. He was released as a sack Tuesday.
