Brooks Koepka is back.
The PGA Tour is reinstating Koepka after he applied to return following his departure from LIV.
The return comes with these stipulations, shared by reporter Dan Rapaport:

The five-time major champion shared a heartfelt message of his own on social media.
"I want to thank my family and my team for their continued support throughout every step of my professional career," Koepka wrote on X. "When I was a child, I always dreamed about competing on the @PGATOUR, and I am just as excited today to announce that I am returning to the PGA TOUR. Being closer to home and spending more time with my family makes this opportunity especially meaningful to me."

Koepka concluded his message with a thank you to his fans.
