Patrick Reed Is Leaving LIV Golf and Plans to Return to the PGA Tour in September

  • On Jan 28, 2026, Patrick Reed announced he will no longer compete on LIV Golf, confirming to ESPN he plans to return to the PGA Tour later this season.
  • After his Dubai Desert Classic victory last week, Reed said family is his priority and playing closer to them influenced his choice, adding he had not finalized a LIV Golf contract.
  • Under his return terms, Reed will forfeit player equity in PGA Tour Enterprises through 2030 and is eligible for a Presidents Cup captain's pick with career earnings of $40,179,592.
  • Leaving the 4Aces, Reed's exit leaves his replacement unclear and creates urgency as PGA Tour CEO Brian Rolapp said reinstatement closes Feb. 2 while LIV's season starts Feb. 4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • Ranked 29th, Reed has a lifetime exemption to the Masters at Augusta National Golf Club and will seek PGA Tour reinstatement as a past champion for the 2027 season while playing on the DP World Tour.
