LIV Golf releases statement following Brooks Koepka return to PGA Tour

LIV Golf releases statement following Brooks Koepka return to PGA Tour

Sports news

Monday was a seismic day in professional golf as news broke that Brooks Koepka is returning to the PGA Tour. There are some details involved that you may want to familiarize yourself with, but the point is that he is back and we can expect to see him at the end of the month at Torrey Pines for the Farmers Insurance Open.

Brooks’ return to the PGA Tour is one of the more significant blows that LIV Golf, where Brooks has been in his time away from the Tour, particularly because Monday’s news offered a path for some of their other stars to return in Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Cam Smith.

LIV Golf released a statement in response to it all.

The statement doesn’t address Koepka or the PGA Tour’s “Returning Member Program” that makes all of this possible, it speaks to the matter in an indirect way.

LIV also indirectly (seemingly) took issue with the statement that the PGA Tour released back in December when it was announced that Koepka was leaving LIV Golf. The language mirroring what the PGA Tour said was caught by many on social media.

It had been a while since we saw a back and forth like this between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf.

What will happen next? Monday is proof that we have no idea.

Deadspin | Anthony Kay pitches gem to help White Sox shut out Royals Apr 9, 2026; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Anthony Kay (18) throws a pitch in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Peter Aiken-Imagn Images Anthony Kay struck out six to match a career high over 5 2/3 innings, and Colson Montgomery roped an RBI double as the Chicago White Sox snapped their 14-game road losing streak to the Kansas City Royals with Thursday night’s 2-0 victory. Luisangel Acuna added a sacrifice fly for Chicago, which won for just the third time in the last 25 games at Kauffman Stadium, where its previous victory came on Sept. 6, 2003. Kay (1-0), who broke into the majors with Toronto in 2019, was making just his ninth career start but third this season for the White Sox. He never faced any real trouble while yielding three hits and two walks on a career-high 100 pitches. Relievers Grant Taylor, Jordan Leasure and Seranthony Dominguez (two saves) combined to yield two hits and strike out five in helping Chicago snap a three-game skid. Kansas City’s Seth Lugo (1-1) was charged with both runs while also giving up four hits and four walks over 6 1/3 innings. Maikel Garcia and Bobby Witt Jr each had two hits, but they struck out for the final two outs, respectively, for the Royals, who stranded 11 runners and went 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position. The Royals have gone 0-for-21 with runners in scoring position while totaling just three runs during their current three-game losing streak. Chicago managed one hit through three innings against Lugo but opened the scoring in the fourth. Japanese rookie Munetaka Murakami drew a four-pitch walk to begin the frame, then scored on Montgomery’s one-out liner that got by Royals right fielder Lane Thomas. The White Sox, who managed just five hits themselves and hit in three double plays on the evening, added a run in the seventh. After Lugo exited for issuing back-to-back one-out walks in the frame, Chicago loaded the bases against John Schreiber following a poor throw by first baseman Vinnie Pasquantino on a potential force out at second base. Acuna then lifted his sacrifice fly to right field. Witt has hit safely in 22 straight games versus Chicago. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Anthony #Kay #pitches #gem #White #Sox #shut #RoyalsApr 9, 2026; Kansas City, Missouri, USA; Chicago White Sox starting pitcher Anthony Kay (18) throws a pitch in the first inning against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.

Deadspin | Kevin Durant scores 29 as Rockets hold off 76ers Apr 9, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (7) shoots against the Philadelphia 76ers during the first quarter at Toyota Center. Mandatory Credit: Erik Williams-Imagn Images Kevin Durant scored a game-high 29 points and drilled a critical late 3-pointer that helped the host Houston Rockets fend off the hard-charging Philadelphia 76ers 113-102 on Thursday. The Rockets extended their winning streak to eight games but had to sweat out the final minutes. The 76ers (43-37) shaved a 28-point third-quarter deficit to 107-102 when VJ Edgecombe followed a pair of missed free throws by Durant with a short jumper with 1:36 left to play. But Durant nailed a 3-pointer on the next possession to settle the game for the Rockets (51-29) once and for all. Jabari Smith Jr. and Amen Thompson added 19 points apiece for Houston while Tari Eason added 15 points and eight rebounds off the bench. Alperen Sengun (12) and Josh Okogie (10) combined for 22 rebounds. The 76ers played without Joel Embiid, who underwent an emergency appendectomy earlier on Thursday. Tyrese Maxey paced the 76ers with 23 points while Edgecombe added 21 points, six rebounds and a game-high eight assists. Andre Drummond grabbed a game-high 15 rebounds. The 76ers have dropped five of six games. Eason sank a 3-pointer with 2:44 remaining in the third that pushed the Rockets to a 96-68 lead. But the 76ers, behind reserve Quentin Grimes (20 points), engineered a stunning rally in the fourth, starting with a 16-0 run that included the Rockets going scoreless for over five minutes. After turning a 9-0 spurt into a 17-10 lead, Houston added a 13-3 blitz capped by a Thompson dunk that pushed the margin to 33-20. The 76ers committed three turnovers during the second Houston run and had six total in the opening period that the Rockets converted into 12 points. The Rockets entered the second with a 35-26 advantage and continued to extend that margin. Reed Sheppard sandwiched a pair of 3-pointers around a Durant field goal that lifted Houston to a 65-47 lead with 3:47 left in the half, and the Rockets opened a 23-point cushion before Maxey caught fire. Maxey, held scoreless in the first quarter, tallied 15 points in the second, including the final eight for the 76ers in the half. His consecutive 3s down the stretch cut the deficit to 73-56 at halftime. –Field Level Media #Deadspin #Kevin #Durant #scores #Rockets #hold #76ersApr 9, 2026; Houston, Texas, USA; Houston Rockets forward Kevin Durant (7) shoots against the Philadelphia 76ers during the first quarter at Toyota Center.
