Patrick Reed won the Masters today. Winning the tournament, or any Major for that matter, bestows its share of riches, opportunities, and fame. All pale in comparison, however, to earning some love from the G.O.A.T.
After Reed’s victory at Augusta National this morning, Australian time, Tiger Woods had another honour in store for the 27-year-old: a spot on the American Presidents Cup team.
Congrats @PReedGolf! At worst you have assured yourself a captain’s pick for next year’s @PresidentsCup.

Woods, who made his first appearance at the Masters since 2015 this week, was recently named captain of the American squad. Reed (as player) and Woods (assistant) were together at the 2016 Ryder Cup and 2017 Presidents Cup, events that ended in US victories. They’ll also be together this September for the Ryder Cup, as Reed’s win locks up his spot while Woods is signed on to help captain Jim Furyk.
Of course, given the success of Woods’ latest comeback, there’s a chance the duo could tee it up together in Paris. Considering Woods is Reed’s idol, as well as Reed’s affinity for team events, it’s a gift that might top the green jacket.
