Brooks Koepka's return to the PGA Tour after his LIV Golf stint has reignited tensions in men's golf. The five-time major champion benefits from a new 'Returning Member Programme' that allows major winners back. His first event back is the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, where he'll face peers who stayed loyal to the PGA Tour.

The move follows years of legal battles and fractures caused by LIV's arrival. The PGA Tour responded with higher purses and Signature Events to retain top talent. Tiger Woods called Koepka's return a win for fans wanting the best players together, but it raises questions about fairness and the sport's sustainable structure.

Koepka reportedly gave up $5m in charity contributions and forfeits FedExCup bonuses. His potential success could create awkward moments, like facing loyalists such as Jordan Spieth. The season ahead will test whether the PGA Tour's new rules can heal divisions or simply create new ones as the sport's best players finally reunite.
