Brooks Koepka is set to leave LIV Golf following the 2025 season, TMZ Sports can confirm.

According to a rep for the five-time major champion, the reason to step away is quite simple -- he wants to spend more time with his family.

"Family has always guided Brooks' decisions, and he feels this is the right moment to spend more time at home," a statement read.

CC Sabathia is a lucky man, 'cause it turns out the former MLB ace was just inches away from Ja Rule's historically bad tee shot at the Derek Jeter Invitational in the Bahamas on Tuesday!!

Videos of the errant swing were shared on social media by those in the line of fire ... and the 2009 World Series champion happened to be standing in the area.

In the clip, you see a man seemingly get drilled on the elbow by the shot, which resulted in a loud thud as the entire crowd collectively let out an "ooh."

Fuzzy Zoeller, a 2x major champ whose big personality and exceptional shot-making were later overshadowed by a racially insensitive remark about Tiger Woods, has died at 74.

Zoeller won 10 PGA Tour events during his time on tour, including the 1979 Masters, which he won his first time playing the tournament at Augusta National, a remarkable feat.

He also won the 1984 U.S. Open, beating Greg Norman and Hale Irwin in a brutal 18-hole playoff.

Justin Bieber took a pee after he hit the tee, watering the rough during a Sunday golf outing in Palm Springs.

In the leaked pics, the 2-time Grammy winner appeared to get caught with his fly open as he played a round.

He was reportedly seen sipping some IPAs beforehand ... which would certainly explain his need for immediate relief. As every golfer knows, there aren't a whole lot of porta-potties on the fairways of most courses.

Weeks before Cody Franke -- known as Barstool Beef -- passed away in the Dominican Republic, he hit the game-winning putt in the company's first-ever Internet Invitational ... taking home a piece of the $1 million prize.

The final episode of the invitational dropped Thursday night ... which saw Beef, Francis Ellis and Brake Dalke take on Paige Spiranac, Frankie Borelli and Malosi Togisala.

It all came down to the last hole, with the two teams all squared. After an errant chip from Borelli went into the water ... it set up Beef to hit the match-sealing putt, and you can see how much it meant to him.

Will Ferrell is taking a brief breather from his new Netflix golf comedy ... 'cause a minor injury has put him on the sidelines ... TMZ has learned.

Production sources tell TMZ ... the actor recently suffered an injury off set, and while it wasn't serious, it was enough to keep him from filming scenes scheduled this week at the Bicycle Casino just outside Los Angeles.

It's unclear exactly how or where Will got hurt, but we're told the issue made it impossible for him to shoot the planned material safely or comfortably this week. Producers have temporarily rearranged the schedule while he recovers.

Kai Trump might be feeling the nerves ahead of her first LPGA tournament ... but she's got some major supporters backing her up ahead of her big tee-off.

The social media star -- who's going to compete at The Annika at Pelican Golf Club near Tampa, Florida this week -- told reporters she'd received advice about handling pressure from golf legend Tiger Woods ... and her grandfather Donald, who's a diehard golfer.

Kai said Tiger -- who as you may recall has won several major championships -- advised her to "go with the flow" and try to have fun during The Annika ... hey, if it's coming from one of the GOATs, it's gotta be solid advice.

She also said her grandfather told her to try to keep the nerves away and maintain her composure on the green during the pro-am tournament.

Kai said she'd teed off with the president on multiple occasions ... but she was cagey when she was asked if she'd ever beaten him on the green.

Kai's going to have some stiff competition at The Annika, as pro golfer Nelly Korda and Indiana Fever basketball star Caitlin Clark are also set to tee off at the event.

We're thinking Kai Trump has to be seriously excited right about now ... because she's set to make her LPGA Tour debut in November.

The granddaughter of President Donald Trump received a sponsor exemption to play in The Annika at Pelican Golf Club, which is set to take place next month, according to ESPN.

Kai issued a statement regarding her participation in the event, and she stated she was excited to meet and play against "so many of my heroes and mentors."

Cody "Beef" Franke went from the green to the screens over the course of his career, as he turned his passion for golf into a way to garner followers on social media.

Rory McIlroy and the rest of Team Europe taunted Donald Trump after their big Ryder Cup win over America ... but in surprising fashion, POTUS ended up taking the high road.

Just after Team USA couldn't complete its comeback against Europe on Sunday at Bethpage Black in New York ... McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland and the rest of the Europeans sent a trolling message Trump's way.

In the video, the guys could be seen and heard chanting, "Are you watching? Are you watching? Are you watching, Donald Trump?" -- all while they raised their trophy with glee.

Pro golfer Jake Knapp has spoken out following the death of his girlfriend, Makena White ... calling her death a "tough reality."

The PGA champ remembered Makena as a "thoughtful person whose selflessness toward others is something [he] will always appreciate" in a statement to TMZ.

He continued ... "We shared so many unforgettable memories together and now that she’s no longer with us, it’s a tough reality to comprehend."

Team USA golfers and fans of the Red, White and Blue already have a post-Ryder Cup celebration spot lined up, 'cause a popular NYC strip club has made a titillating offer ... now all they've gotta do is win!

A spokesperson for the club tells TMZ Sports they're preparing to give U.S. players like Bryson DeChambeau a well-deserved treat -- if they emerge victorious.

Makena White, the girlfriend of pro golfer Jake Knapp has died, according to her Instagram page.

A post that was shared on her account on Friday, which was apparently written by one of her friends, stated she passed away earlier in the week. A cause of death was not revealed in the message.

Her fans were encouraged to make donations to either the Bruyère Brain Health & Memory Clinic or the Griffin Bell Endowment Fund in her honor.

Brooklyn Beckham is speaking out about his ongoing family feud ... making it clear he's not losing sleep over the drama swirling around his famous last name.

In a new interview with the Daily Mail, the son of David and Victoria addressed constant speculation about his personal life and made it clear he's got all the support he needs at home from his wife.

"There's always going to be people saying negative things, but I have a very supportive wife," Brooklyn said, referring to Nicola Peltz. "Me and her, we just do our thing, we just keep our heads down and work. And we’re happy."

Bryson DeChambeau thought the hardest part of his Bentley contest would be knocking down the nearly impossible golf shot ... but giving away the super expensive luxury car also proved challenging thanks to HUGE fan interest!

In other words, we're told so many people attempted to enter the contest, the website actually crashed.

Donald Trump looks alive and well ... this after ridiculous online rumors have been circling about his current status -- and even questioning if he's alive.

The prez was seen boarding his motorcade on the South Lawn of the White House Saturday morning with his granddaughter, Kai, as they headed to Trump National Golf Club in Sterling, Virginia.

The two look geared up for a morning of golf ... with Donald rocking a MAGA hat and polo, while Kai wears a black long-sleeve shirt and matching cap.
