Reed stunned many after an impressive final round in Dubai. The LIV star shot 7-under-par in the final round but lost the event by one stroke to Rory McIlroy.

As both entities endured loss on the same day, fans on Twitter made out a striking similarity between the looks of the golfer and Bengals’ head coach Zac Taylor.

What infuriated NFL and golf fans?

Taylor took over the head coaching responsibility of the Bengals back in 2019. However, it wasn’t until the arrival of LSU’s Joe Burrow that the coach’s plays really came into effect. Last year, under Zac Taylor’s leadership, the Cincinnati Bengals reached their first Super Bowl since the 1988 season.

Following the loss, many fans on Twitter saw a resemblance in looks between the coach and LIV star Patrick Reed. Though both men look quite identical to each other, they are not related.
