A source said, “The Reeds have a miserable relationship with the PGA Tour,… I know nothing would make them happier than giving the Tour a big middle finger … he’s been playing the Saudi International on the European Tour for years now and loves it. He has great relationships over there.”

A few days before the PGA Tour announced that they were going to suspend LIV Golf players from the tour, Reed stated he was going to play in the LIV Tour. A lot of other players including Phil Mickelson and Dustin Johnson have also joined the Saudi-funded league. The LIV Golf players are making millions of dollars from LIV. However, the golfers have paid the cost after losing their PGA Tour legacy.
