Jan 12 - Brooks Koepka is returning to the PGA Tour after applying for reinstatement following his departure from LIV Golf, but his comeback comes with a potential $85 million price tag under a new program announced by the U.S.-based circuit on Monday.

Former world number one Koepka, who joined LIV in 2022, parted ways with the Saudi-funded circuit last month and applied for PGA Tour reinstatement after notifying officials "that his previous affiliation had concluded," PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said in an open letter to fans.
