Former Masters champion Patrick Reed is leaving the LIV Golf league and plans to return to the PGA Tour later this season. Reed looks to reinstate his membership for the 2027 season.
The 9-time PGA Tour winner would be eligible to return to TOUR competition on Aug. 25, 2026. Reed took to social media to express his gratitude.
“After careful thought and consideration, my family and I have decided that I will no longer compete on the LIV Golf Tour.
I am excited to announce that I am returning to the PGA TOUR as a past champion member for the 2027 season and am eligible to begin competing in PGA TOUR events later this year.
I will continue to compete and play as an Honorary Lifetime Member on the DP World Tour, which I am truly honored and excited to do.
I’m a traditionalist at heart, and I was born to play on the PGA TOUR, which is where my story with my wife, Justine, began.
I am very fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way and grateful for the life we have created. I am advancing in my career, and I look forward to competing on the PGA TOUR and the DP World Tour. I can’t wait to get back out there and revisit some of the best places on earth.
I want to thank everyone involved for helping me make this decision. Over the last four years, I have learned a lot about myself, about who I am and who I am not, and for that I am forever grateful.
To Dustin Johnson, The Aces, and LIV Golf, I want to thank you for the memories we shared and for the ones we created together.
To golf fans around the world, I want to thank you all for your continued support over the years. I ask that you respect the decision we have made for our family, our children, and our future. Thank you for your continued support.”
First, it was Brooks Koepka; now, it’s Reed. LIV Golf will be losing a lot of money. The PGA Tour put out an official statement.
