Patrick Reed is leaving LIV Golf to return to the PGA Tour

A PGA Tour statement said:, external “As he resigned his Tour membership prior to violating any Tour regulations, he will be eligible to return to Tour competition on August 25, 2026, as a non-member, provided he adheres to the Tour regulations and does not participate in additional unauthorized events.

“At that time, Reed will be eligible to participate in FedExCup Fall events as a non-member and can accept sponsor waivers or participate in open qualifiers for those tournaments.

“Reed will then be able to reinstate his membership for the 2027 Tour season, where he will play outside of the former champion bracket.”

She added that Reid intends to play on the Europe-based DP World Tour this year after winning the Dubai Desert Classic last week.

“I will continue to compete and play as an honorary life member of the DP World Tour, something I am truly honored and excited to do,” Reid said.

“I am a traditionalist at heart, and I was born to play on the PGA Tour, where my story with my wife Justine began.

“I am very fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way, and I am grateful for the life we ​​have created.

“I’m moving forward with my career, and I’m looking forward to competing on the PGA Tour and DP World Tour. I can’t wait to get back out there and revisit some of the best places on earth.”

“I want to thank everyone involved for helping me make this decision. Over the past four years, I have learned a lot about myself, who I am and who I am not, and for that I am forever grateful.”

Reed was part of the 4Aces team at LIV Golf alongside fellow American Dustin Johnson.

“To Dustin Johnson, The Aces and LIV Golf, I want to thank you for the memories we shared and made together,” Reid added.

“To golf fans around the world, I just want to thank you all for your continued support over the years.

“I just ask that you respect the decision we made for the sake of our family, our children and our future. Thank you for your continued support.”

Reid’s move comes as LIV Golf prepares for its fifth season in the first week of February in Riyadh.

“LIV has long been an advocate for player movement and recognizes that as golf settles into a new normal, players will not only have the right, but the opportunity to play golf when and where they want,” the LIV statement added.

“As we look forward, our focus remains on building teams and a league that fans can believe in and players can enjoy – those who compete at the highest level, play the game the right way, and understand the responsibility of growing the game around the world through fan engagement and celebration of partners.”
