Ex-LIV Golfer Chase Koepka Returns to Pro Golf at Philippine Open
Chase Koepka, younger brother of Brooks Koepka, is making his return to professional golf after a 15-month hiatus. He'll compete in the Asian Tour's Philippine Open, scheduled for January 23-26 at The Manila Southwoods G&CC.

Koepka's last tournament appearance was at the LIV Golf Invitational Miami in October 2023, where his disappointing season led to relegation from the LIV Golf circuit. He finished 48th out of 50 players in the individual standings, with only three top-30 finishes and a season-best 24th place at LIV Golf Adelaide, highlighted by a hole-in-one.
While initially signed up for the 2023 LIV Golf Promotions event, Koepka withdrew, effectively ending his chances of competing on the circuit in 2024. His brother Brooks previously mentioned Chase could "play the Asian Tour and try to work his way back," though the final decision would be up to him.
The 30-year-old will join fellow relegated LIV Golf players Jed Morgan, Sihwan Kim, and Scott Vincent in the Philippine Open field. Koepka is entered under the 'LIV exemptions' category as he begins his journey to rebuild his professional career.
