Executives at LIV Golf have reportedly told their players that the hefty signing fees which attracted many of the league's top names will not be on offer during future contract negotiations.

The LIV setup, established in 2022, lured some of the sport's biggest stars, including Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka, and Bryson DeChambeau, with deals exceeding £100 million. However, these contracts are soon due to end.

Golfweek reports that such staggering offers will not be repeated. All eyes are now on Dustin Johnson, whose contract with the league is set to expire later this year.

Johnson has had a successful stint with LIV, clinching both the Team Championship with the 4Aces and his individual title in the league's inaugural season. Despite this, Johnson's form has faltered recently, particularly in major tournaments.

In 2025, the double major champion failed to make the cut at both the Masters and the PGA Championship, marking a disappointing period for the 4Aces captain. Johnson isn't the only player who was enticed to LIV with a substantial payout, as Koepka and DeChambeau also signed lucrative contracts.

Unlike their former Ryder Cup colleague, these two ex-PGA Tour stars' current contracts are set to expire at the end of next season. Koepka's situation, in particular, has drawn attention after doubts were raised about his future with the Saudi-backed circuit.

Following remarks by former Masters champion Fred Couples that Brooks Koepka is eyeing a return to the PGA Tour, speculation about Koepka's future has intensified. On KJR 93.3 FM, Couples revealed, "I talked to Brooks Koepka all the time. I love Brooks Koepka, and I'm not going to say anything extra except I talked to him all the time.

"He wants to come back [to the PGA Tour]. I will say that I believe he really wants to come back and play the Tour."

When these comments were put to Koepka in March, the Smash GC captain kept his cards close to his chest.

"Everybody seems to have their own opinion, and no one asks me," Koepka remarked before the league's recent Singapore tournament. "Like I've said before, I'm not in those rooms. I've got a contract obligation out here to fulfill, and then we'll see what happens."

Bryson DeChambeau seems decidedly more dedicated to the LIV circuit. Despite earlier whispers this year of him possibly returning to the PGA Tour at the end of 2025, a LIV insider speaking to Mirror U.S. Sports has confirmed DeChambeau's commitment: he's "committed to the long-term success and future of their teams and the league," with his contract extending into 2026.

Jon Rahm, conversely, who secured LIV's largest contract in December 2023, has a lengthy engagement with the league. The deal, reported to be worth £400 million, brought immediate glory as the Spaniard claimed the league's individual title in his debut season last year.
