Brooks Koepka responds to rumoured PGA Tour return: "Then we'll see what happens"

Brooks Koepka has indicated he may rejoin the PGA Tour once his contract with LIV Golf expires. 

Last week, former Masters champion Fred Couples claimed the five-time major champion 'really wants' to rejoin the North American circuit. 

Couples told an American radio station that he is in regular contact with the 34-year-old, who was among the first wave of high-profile players to be recruited by LIV for a deal reportedly worth more than $100m. 

"He wants to come back," Couples, 65, said. "I will say that I believe he really wants to come back and play the Tour."

The widely-assumed explanation is that part of the reason why Koepka signed on the dotted line was because he feared his career was going to be cut short by a serious knee injury. 

Koepka admitted in April 2023 that his decision to join LIV Golf could have been different had he not been as fit as he is today. 

The golfer told reporters in his news conference before LIV Golf Sentosa on Wednesday that Couples sent him a text message after his comments - that were labelled a 'jerk move' by Phil Mickelson - were widely shared. 

"Everybody seems to have their own opinion and no one asks me," Koepka said. 

"I talked to Fred quite a bit, but we don't go too much into detail about what's going on. 

"Like I've said before, I'm not in those rooms. I've got a contract obligation out here to fulfill, and then we'll see what happens."

He added: "I don't know where I'm going, so I don't know how everybody else does. 

"Right now I'm just focused on how do I play better, how do I play better in the majors, how does this team win, and then we'll figure out next year and how to play better again. It's the same thing. It's just a revolving cycle.

"I've got nothing [else to add]. Everybody else seems to know more than I do."

Meanwhile, Koepka also revealed that time is running out for him to win The Masters. 

He has come close on two occasions - in 2019 and 2023 - but is desperate to win a green jacket.
