Patrick Reed quits LIV Golf, returns to PGA after McIlroy message
Patrick Reed exits LIV Golf, rejoining PGA after Rory McIlroy's message.
On 28 January 2026, former Masters champion Patrick Reed announced he would leave the Saudi‑backed LIV Golf circuit after a four‑shot triumph at the Dubai Desert Classic in March, and re‑join the PGA Tour. Reed’s decision followed a stark message from fellow player Rory McIlroy that called out the tour’s financial and ethical practices. The Dubai win, secured on Sunday 22 March, saw Reed finish at –12 under par, the lowest score in 14 years. By quitting LIV, Reed aims to compete again in the PGA’s majors, including the upcoming Masters at Augusta. The move underscores growing discontent among top golfers toward the LIV format and highlights the impact of peer criticism on career choices.
