Reed recently expressed that he is fed up with listening to all the rumors about him joining the LIV Golf tour primarily for money. And in reaction to these never ending allegations, he said, “I can tell you this much: the guys who are out there, it doesn’t matter what the dollar amount is – to be honest with you, as the players we’re sick and tired of hearing about that”

He also mentioned how his biggest motive for joining the LIV Golf league is the growth of the game. “The only way to grow the game is to get outside and go places and I’ve always loved to travel and play and to be able to play events like this is a treat for me,” he stated.
