Patrick Reed has announced his decision to leave LIV Golf and return to the PGA Tour. The 35-year-old golfer expressed his desire to rejoin the traditional circuit, where he got his start in golf with his wife Justine.
Reed cited being a "traditionalist at heart" as the reason for his departure from LIV Golf. By choosing to compete on the DP World Tour and possibly improve his standing for the 2027 PGA Tour season, Reed aims to solidify his position among professional golfers.
In his previous stint on LIV Golf, Reed finished seventh or higher in the standings three out of four years as a member of Dustin Johnson's team. Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka has also made a return to the PGA Tour, with Kevin Na and Hudson Swafford having submitted applications for reinstatement.
Reed's decision comes after he revealed last week that he was not under contract to play for LIV Golf in the upcoming season. The golfer expressed gratitude to his fans for their continued support while asking them to respect his family's decision regarding their future.
