On Tuesday, Alex Miceli of Sports Illustrated published an article detailing the current happenings of LIV Golf and their outlook for 2024.

There were some interesting pieces of information revealed by Miceli, including that LIV may be expanding from 12 to 15 teams in 2024, and the Tour will be looking to add some type of Monday qualifying event.

Additionally, there was a contract detail uncovered that seems to ensure no LIV player will be backing out of their contract anytime soon.

“None want to play a full season on the PGA Tour, which is good because their LIV contracts, while not prohibiting them from playing a full schedule on another tour, does force them to honor their commitment to LIV and if for some reason they wanted to leave LIV, the penalty clause is two, three or four times their signing bonus to break their agreement.

This penalty clause effectively keeps the players part of the LIV stable until the contract expires after the 2025 season.”

NEW: if a LIV player wants to break their contract, the penalty is 2x-4x their signing bonus, per @AlexMiceli.

If Brooks Koepka received $100m as reported, that could mean up to a $400 million penalty if he wanted to leave.

There’s been chatter about Brooks Koepka reconsidering his move to LIV. Miceli spoke to Brooks about those rumors, to which he said were untrue.

“I’m fine, I’m satisfied, I’m content with every decision I’ve made,” Koepka says.

Were there any details that surprised Koepka in the fine print of the contract?

“I knew everything I was getting into,” Koepka says.
