“I’m not sure. I’m not sure if it should be the same for everyone,“ Spieth said.
“I know olive branches were given out, you know, a couple months ago. Brooks took ’em up on it. So I’m not sure what would now change.
“Obviously with, if it — and I don’t even know, that doesn’t necessarily mean that LIV’s not going to still move on, too. I think there’s just too many unknowns for me to have a good gauge on what would happen there.“

Jordan Spieth makes Brooks Koepka and Patrick Reed points
Spieth has questioned whether the deal offered initially to Brooks Koepka will still be available now for other LIV Golf stars.
“I think, if there’s a system for Brooks and a system for Patrick Reed, does that stay the same for guys in the same category as those two coming back or does it change now? Does it change for guys who sued and dropped their membership?
“There’s just a lot of different things that happened over the last four years for that.
