Four-time major winner Brooks Koepka will become the second-highest ranked player in the world to join the Saudi-backed LIV series.

Saudi-funded LIV Golf reportedly has paid players such as Johnson, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau and Patrick Reed hundreds of millions of dollars simply to join the new league, which offers a lighter schedule; shorter, cut-free tournaments; and guaranteed prize money. Without it, the LIV golfers will see their rankings plummet, making it unlikely they will qualify for majors unless they are past champions. Koepka made the cut at the U.S. Open but was not a threat to win after a dismal weekend, finishing 55th. LIV Golf Investments CEO Greg Norman said Saturday that the new circuit is petitioning the OWGR for accreditation. “I’m here at the U.S. Open,” Koepka told reporters when asked about the new league. I’m tired of the conversations. But he has been slowed by hip, knee and wrist injuries over the past few years, and he’s finished no better than 55th at the three majors played this season, with a missed cut at the Masters. Now ranked 19th in the world — making him LIV’s highest-ranked golfer behind No. 16 Dustin Johnson — Koepka has not played in a non-major tournament since late March. He will join his lower-ranked brother, Chase, on the new circuit. This time, he’s doing it with Saudi money. I’m tired of all this stuff. “I’m trying to focus on the U.S. Open, man,” Koepka continued. Before last week’s U.S. Open, Koepka called talk of the LIV series a distraction and castigated reporters for continuing to ask about the subject.

"I'm here at the U.S. Open," Koepka said. I'm tired of the conversations. I'm tired of all this stuff. "I'm trying to focus on the U.S. Open, man," Koepka said. "I'm ready to play the U.S. Open, and I think it kind of sucks, too, you are all throwing this black cloud over the U.S. Open. It's one of my favorite events. Like I said, y'all are throwing a black cloud on the U.S. Open. I think that sucks.
