Tiger Woods is expected to play a key role in the next steps regarding Brooks Koepka.
Koepka has applied to be reinstated as a member of the PGA Tour, and there are valid points on both sides of this debate.

He transferred from the PGA Tour to LIV Golf in June 2022. However, his term at LIV will end in December 2025, and he and the organization have agreed to go their separate ways.
Since then, questions have remained about where he fits in the professional world. While some argue he deserves a chance to return, others believe there should be consequences for that decision.
“It was the same as what happened to them in June 2022,” one X user wrote. “Mr. Brooks has been suspended immediately and will be suspended again in December for his resignation.”
Brooks Koepka’s lawsuit seeking reinstatement is currently under review by both committees. It’s unclear how long he will have to wait to learn his fate, as no clear timeline has been set for when a decision will be made.

Koepka currently finds himself without formal tour membership, and is only guaranteed to start in next year’s four majors. The rest of his schedule is still undetermined.
Fans aren’t the only ones hoping for his return. Jon Rahm has also been vocal about wanting Koepka back on the field, and it’s clear there is support from some players as well.
It’s clear he wants to come back, but the decision is not up to him. That will be up to the PGA Tour and its reinstatement process.
Tiger Woods will have a huge impact on what happens next. Koepka’s voice will carry a lot of weight in any discussions regarding his future, both as a member of the policy committee and as player director.

Tiger Woods faces difficult decision over Brooks Koepka’s return to PGA Tour
As we all know, Woods has a lot of influence within the PGA Tour. He is a die-hard traditionalist and has always opposed players moving to LIV Golf.
But Woods and Koepka have a good relationship off the course. In this situation, it would be smart money for both parties to get things done amicably.
A return to the PGA Tour won’t be easy for Koepka, but it won’t be completely out of reach.
After all, Koepka remains one of the biggest names in golf. Getting him back into the team will definitely increase interest in the event. But if he returns without repercussions, it could set a dangerous precedent for others in similar situations in the future.
