Patrick Reed is one of golf’s most fractious characters. He is a former Masters champion and recently ended his stint in the LIV Golf League.
Reed was born in August 1990 in San Antonio, Texas, and took up the game from an early age. He had a successful collegiate career, even though he had to leave the University of Georgia after being suspended. He moved to Augusta State University and was a three-time All-American, and made the last four of the US Amateur Championship.
He turned professional in 2011, before making it on to the PGA Tour just a couple of years later. He grabbed his first professional victory that year, 2013, at the Wyndham Championship, and went on to win nine times on the PGA Tour. Those wins included the peak of his career, when he won the Masters Tournament in 2018. Reed also has two FedEx Cup Playoffs wins and two World Golf Championships to his name.
In the summer of 2022, the American was part of the original group to join the brand new LIV Golf League, thus giving up his membership on the PGA Tour. As part of 4Aces GC, Reed tasted success alongside team captain Dustin Johnson, with the team winning the Team Championship in the league’s first year. He claimed his first victory in the series in Dallas in 2025, winning the event in a playoff.
He then started the 2026 season on fire on the DP World Tour, following his departure from the LIV Golf League. as he claimed his first Rolex Series win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January 2026. Two weeks later, the American was victorious for a second time, winning the Qatar Masters.
