Brooks Koepka continues to take full advantage of his reinstatement to the PGA Tour.
After leaving LIV Golf in January to rejoin the tour that allowed him to rise to No. 1 in the world, Koepka has committed to two events in the final two months of the year.
The five-time major winner will be part of the Nov. 27 Skins Game at Atlantic Fields Club in Hobe Sound, competing for the $4 million purse along with Justin Thomas, Wyndham Clark and Jackson Koivun. The event will be streamed exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
One month later, Koepka will make his debut at thePNC Championship, playing with his dad, Bob, in the event that pairs past major champions and a family member. The 36-hole event is Dec. 19-20 at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club in Orlando,
Koepka, the Palm Beach County native who lives in Jupiter, returned to the PGA Tour agreeing to several conditions for 2026, including having to play his way into Signature Events and not being eligible for the playoff. Koepka had an uneven season with just one top 10, and six top-25 finishes, in 16 starts. He did not play in any of the eight Signature Events.
Koepka's highest finish was tied for ninth at the Cognizant Classic in the Palm Beaches.
The Skins Game, a made for television event, returned last year at the Jack Nicklaus and Justin Thomas designed Panther National in Palm Beach Gardens with Kegan Bradley, Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry and Xander Schauffele.
The competition returns to the original format of the Skins Game, which debuted in 1983, with each player starting with $0. Last year the players started with $1 million and the amount went up or down based on whether a player won or lost a hole. Bradley won 11 skins for a total prize of $2.1 million, Tommy Fleetwood earned $1.7 million, Lowry made $200,000 and Schauffele was shut out.
Will Tiger Woods return to competitive golf at PNC Championship
Jupiter's Matt Kuchar is the defending PNC champion, having won in 2025 with son Cameron. He returns in 2026 to play with son, Carson. Boca Raton's Bernhard Langer, a six-time winner of the event, will play for the first time with daughter, Christina DeJong.
The event could also mark the return of Tiger Woods to competitive golf. Woods was charged with DUI following a crash near his home on Jupiter Island on March 27. He entered a plea agreementSept. 2 at a hearing in Martin County. Woods pleaded no contest to the reduced charge of reckless, willful driving. His driver's license was suspended for five years.
Woods has played the PNC five times with son Charlie, a senior at the Benjamin School. They finished runner-up twice, losing in a playoff to Langer and his son, Jason, in 2024.
