A look at Brooks Koepka’ LIV Golf contract details and how much money does the golfer makes from the deal and his net worth
Brooks Koepka did not sleep on the previous Sunday. He battled to a Masters Tournament lead before faltering. After all, after the horrible knee injury, after the anguish of unfulfilled desire, after the taunts, and after the splenetic split in professional golf that he helped personify.

Over the weekend, he made a final commitment to himself at Oak Hill Country Club to never again “think the way I thought going into the final round.”
Koepka had his justification on Sunday night when he won the P.G.A. Championship by two strokes, taking home his first major championship trophy since 2019. Koepka’s fifth major triumph in his career put him on par with players like Byron Nelson and Seve Ballesteros.
With the victory, he became the first golfer from LIV to have won a major event since joining the circuit. A one-year-old breakaway league called LIV Golf is supported by Saudi Arabia’s royal wealth fund.
While Koepka’s victory at Oak Hill may not do much to dispel some of the criticisms of LIV—its association with a repressive regime, its questionable motivations, and its gleeful instigation of a financial arms race in an age-old sport—it definitively put an end to the discussion over whether competitors from irregular 54-hole competitions can succeed on golf’s most prestigious, 72-hole stages.
Naturally, Koepka’s choice to join LIV Golf in 2022 instead of the PGA Tour caused some controversy, and the new league spent a lot of money to get his favour.
The following are some things to be aware of regarding Koepka’s LIV Golf contract and his performance on the LIV Golf circuit:
Brooks Koepka LIV Golf contract
LIV Golf never formally published Koepka’s contract details, but speculations contend that he signed on for a $100 million signing bonus to compete in the disputed competition.
According to reports, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, and Phil Mickelson each received that much as a signing bonus when they agreed to join LIV Golf.
According to Sports Illustrated Koepka’s deal is valid until 2025. Golfers would be required to repay “two, three, or four times” their signing bonuses to terminate their contracts and return to the PGA Tour before 2025.
Therefore, if Koepka chose to terminate the contract within the ensuing three years, he would have to form over hundreds of millions of dollars. His current net worth is $50 million.
