Former Masters champion Patrick Reed leaving LIV Golf, cleared for PGA Tour return

On Jan 28, 2026, Patrick Reed, the 2018 Masters champion, announced he is leaving LIV Golf and will compete full-time on the DP World Tour before returning to the PGA Tour.
Reed resigned his PGA Tour membership in 2022, which makes him eligible to compete as a non-member beginning on August 25, and the PGA Tour sent a memo outlining a path back for players like him outside the Returning Member Program.
Fresh off his Dubai Desert Classic win on Sunday, Reed has 12 career wins and a full DP World Tour schedule that includes Bahrain this week.
He can play fall FedEx Cup events via sponsor exemptions, including Biltmore Championship Asheville, but he would not be eligible for Player Equity Program shares or use past-champion limited status.
Weeks after Brooks Koepka's PGA return, Reed is the second high-profile player to quit LIV Golf as the circuit prepares its fifth season next week in Saudi Arabia.
