Patrick Reed Shows Immense Love to LIV Golf While Taking Subtle Dig at the PGA Tour

Patrick Reed is a pro golfer from America who plays on the PGA Tour as well as the European Tour. The golfer has a record of nine victories on the PGA Tour, including a major championship. The 31-year-old golfer is well known for his game in the golfing community.

The former ‘Captain America’ of golf, as called by fans for his Ryder’s Cup performance, has decided to leave the PGA Tour and join hands with the LIV Golf Invitational Series. As of today, he is the latest player to join the Saudi-funded series after letting go of the PGA Tour.

Reed said during the LIV broadcast, “I am super excited. Just the thought of being able to be a part of an evolution and a change in golf for the better is unbelievable. I have been watching all weekend and the format and just the way everything is, I am super excited and can’t wait to be a part.”

In response to it, Reed replied, “Oh, for sure. It’s unbelievable. It’s refreshing to see team golf again. It brings you back to the good old days in college and also Ryder Cups and Presidents Cups when you’re out there not just playing for yourself but you’re also playing for your team, and over there, building that camaraderie.”

He added, “And being able to see more golf and more golf shots like we’ve been able to see throughout the coverage where there’s a lot of the golf shots from everyone. You’re not just seeing featured groups. You’re seeing all players. And always knowing where you stand, having a leaderboard on the side and everyone is through basically the same holes, to me, is amazing because you’re sitting there you know, all right, everyone has seven holes left, everyone has ten holes left. These guys are here, you’re here, and you know you have to make a push right off the bat.”

The golfer ended his answer by saying, “Being 54-hole event, seems like more of it’s a sprint rather than a marathon. Brings me back from some of the Monday qualifier days.”

Reed indirectly compared PGA and LIV, representing the latter as more exciting

The new LIV member was seen all excited to be a part of the series. He also mentioned a lot of good things he liked about the LIV Tour and the format of the game. But in his statements, the player also threw a few indirect statements at the PGA Tour in the form of comparisons.

Referring to the LIV Series as a team game rather than an individual game, Reed pointed at the PGA Tour as the opposite. He also mentioned seeing all players instead of featured groups in the LIV Tour. After all these statements by Reed, it is not wrong to consider how some players can suddenly take a turn with their thoughts about various leagues when it comes to more money.
