CBS Sports begins its 69th consecutive year broadcasting the PGA Tour this weekend at the Farmers Insurance Open from Torrey Pines Golf Course in San Diego, the first of 22 events on its schedule that includes the Masters, PGA Championship, six signature events and the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

The PGA Show returned to Orlando with 33,000 attendees, 1,100 vendors, and industry leaders shaping golf’s growth into 2026.

Reacting to the news Tuesday was fellow PGA Tour star Rory McIlroy, who has shared the course with Koepka countless times over the years as one of the sport’s premier competitors.

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Brooks Koepka was freed from the final year of his contract with Saudi-funded LIV Golf and the first person he called was Tiger Woods. Three weeks later, the PGA Tour created a path back for him that starts at Torrey Pines.

Shortly after his release from LIV, Koepka revealed that his first call was to Tiger Woods to get his perspective on the move.

"It seems like some of those guys are maybe starting to realize they're not getting everything they wanted out of going over there," Rory McIlroy on LIV Golfers

Rory McIlroy says the return of LIV Golf defectors is exposing a clear difference in what elite competition still represents in men’s professional golf. Rory McIlroy has pointed to Brooks Koepka’s decision to leave LIV Golf and rejoin the PGA Tour as evidence that players are starting to recognise the competitive gap between the two circuits.

Brooks Koepka said the first call he made after parting ways with LIV Golf was to PGA Tour legend Tiger Woods.
