    Brooks Koepka BACK on the PGA Tour?! | Dan Evans Show #77

    Brooks Koepka is officially headed back to the PGA Tour — and the way it happened is just as chaotic as the return itself. In Episode 77 of The Dan Evans Show, we break down the PGA Tour’s brand-new one-time reinstatement pathway for 2026, why it feels written for specific LIV stars, and why others (most notably Phil Mickelson) are completely shut out. We explain the eligibility rules, who actually qualifies, and the massive penalties attached — including forfeiting PGA Tour equity money, a required $5 million charitable contribution, no FedEx Cup bonus payouts, and no automatic access to Signature Events. Dan also takes you inside a LIV Golf media event where this news broke in real time, sharing the subtle locker-room vibes and moments you don’t get from social media clips. From Bryson DeChambeau’s noticeably different energy and ongoing contract negotiations, to Anthony Kim’s unbelievable comeback story after relegation, to Tommy Fleetwood quietly stepping away from Nike — this episode covers one of the most unpredictable weeks in modern golf. If you want real context, behind-the-scenes insight, and the full story beyond the headlines, this is the episode. 0:00 Intro — massive week: Koepka, Anthony Kim, Genesis, Fleetwood0:31 Golf news overload and nonstop rumors1:13 Why Brooks Koepka suddenly feels universally loved again2:04 Brooks Koepka officially back on the PGA Tour2:39 When and where Koepka returns (Farmers, WM Open)3:11 PGA Tour’s new one-time reinstatement rule explained3:52 Who qualifies (majors & Players winners since 2022)4:22 Bryson, Rahm, Cam Smith — and why Phil is left out5:37 Penalties: equity loss, $5M charity payment, restrictions7:55 No FedEx Cup money + no automatic Signature Events9:18 Can Koepka play his way into Signature Events mid-season?10:10 Dan on site at LIV media event as news breaks12:31 Locker room vibes + awkward timing of breaking news14:09 Bryson DeChambeau’s energy feels different16:12 Is Bryson the most culturally relevant golfer right now?19:43 Bryson’s EXIT sign post + press conference body language21:10 Bryson contract negotiations & massive LIV numbers22:49 Anthony Kim tweet + majors = freedom conversation33:17 Anthony Kim relegated… then earns his LIV spot back36:39 Tommy Fleetwood spotted without Nike (Lululemon rumors)39:52 Inside Dan’s Genesis VIP experience begins44:27 PGA National round + insane hospitality details55:22 TGL night VIP section + Billy Horschel moments59:39 Wrap-up stories, celeb encounters, closing thoughts
