What does Brooks Koepka do while golf’s power brokers debate the sport’s future? He learns camera terminology for his wife’s Instagram content. The five-time major champion spent his Thursday evening taking up a new hobby and mastering the Canon G7x. His wife, Jena Sims, documented the scene on Instagram, declaring her “vice” to the world.

“Everyone has their vice,” Sims wrote on December 12 on her Instagram story. “Mine just happens to be a sexy golfer.”

“I think my biggest accomplishment of the night is the fact Brooks can say ‘G7x’ with confidence and be prepared for what that entails,” she wrote in another update.

This is vintage Koepka. Many complain he’s been aloof, robotic, and arrogant. Even when half of social media turned against him, he shrugged it off. And yet, the domestic version tells a different story.

Koepka previously held down home duties while Sims judged Miss Teen USA earlier this year, handling preschool drop-offs and household responsibilities while she reunited with her pageant roots. The Instagram husband role isn’t new. It’s just becoming more visible, but at an uncomfortable moment for LIV Golf.

The post arrived amid fresh rumors that Koepka may sit out the 2026 LIV Golf season entirely, potentially forfeiting around $20 million in guaranteed money to pursue a PGA Tour return. In case he really decides to opt out, Koepka would still be eligible to play in the majors and the DP World Tour, thanks to his 2023 PGA Championship win.

However, if the golfer is required to serve the mandated one-year suspension, he would only be eligible to play in the PGA Tour in late August next year. But one particular issue makes the situation more dicey: Brooks Koepka’s contract situation.

Brooks Koepka’s LIV Golf future clouded by contract uncertainty

LIV Golf-PGA Tour merger talks have stalled after the PGA Tour rejected a $1.5 billion investment offer from the Public Investment Fund. Dustin Johnson‘s contract expired at the end of 2025, though he reportedly signed an extension. Bryson DeChambeau‘s deal runs through 2026, the same as Koepka’s, and he’s also said to be in talks for an early extension.

Koepka, on the other hand, has been mostly lying low. But LIV Golf CEO Scott O’Neil sees it in black and white.

“I know you’re not going to want to hear this one, just the individual players, and this goes back to our policy, we’re just going to run it through,” O’Neil responded when asked if Koepka was playing on LIV in 2026. “So, we haven’t made any announcements on players, but he is signed for 2026.”

However, the “domino effect” scenario haunts LIV Golf executives. If Koepka walks, others might follow. But none of that appeared on Koepka’s radar Thursday night. That night he was just a husband learning to say “G7x” with confidence to support his wife’s content creation.
