Patrick Reed is no stranger to Ryder Cup pressure, and despite his move to LIV Golf, the American remains hopeful of adding a fourth Ryder Cup appearance to his decorated resume. Speaking at LIV Golf Andalucía at Real Club Valderrama, Reed outlined his path back onto the US team ahead of September’s showpiece at Bethpage in New York.
Golf can be a cruel and complex game, particularly at the elite level. Sergio Garcia, after 26 years as a pro, was reminded horribly when he came within three feet of securing a place in the Open Championship at the Asian Tour’s International Series Macau in China.
The Macau tournament is part of the R&A’s Open Qualifying Series, giving out exemptions into this summer’s Open Championship at Royal Portrush to the top three finishers who haven’t already qualified. Seventeen LIV golfers competing have yet to earn a spot in the Open.
Several LIV players ultimately described the US Open and Open Championship news as “a good start”. Meaning that LIV’s 14 different major winners consider the group worthy of more.
McIlroy made it pretty clear he’s still got issues with at least two LIV defectors during his Wednesday press conference ahead of the 2024 Dubai Desert Classic.
Cameron Smith will take a four-shot lead into the final round of LIV Golf Bedminster, but he’ll have to contend with a New Jersey crowd desperate for Phil Mickelson to turn back the clock and a fiery Patrick Reed snapping at his heels.
A trashed vehicle that looks very much like Patrick Reed’s custom Masters-themed Porsche 911 GT2 RS appeared at salvage auction this week, sending internet sleuths into hysterics. Even the first 10 digits of the VIN match those on Reed’s original vehicle, as The Drive reports.
With Patrick Reed seen taking in an AFL game ahead of LIV Golf’s Adelaide stop this week, the waters were ripe for fishing and @useGolfFACTS – either unthinkingly or simply because they do not care anymore – gobbled up the bait.
