Former Masters champion Patrick Reed has announced his intention to leave LIV Golf and seek reinstatement on the PGA Tour, following the expiration of his contract with the rival league. According to ESPN and CBS Sports, Reed informed the PGA Tour of his desire to return and is expected to rejoin competition later this season, potentially as early as the Farmers Insurance Open. The 2018 Masters winner, who has nine PGA Tour victories, is aiming to restore his eligibility under the Tour’s reinstatement policies for players who left for LIV Golf. While all sources confirm Reed’s intent to return, framing differs slightly. ESPN presents the move as a straightforward announcement of his plans to rejoin the Tour, emphasizing his competitive goals. CBS Sports adds context by noting that Reed’s return is contingent on formal reinstatement procedures and references a 2027 timeline in one article, though this appears to be an error or misattribution given the context of other reports indicating a 2026 return. The inclusion of a 2026 newsletter snippet from CBS Sports suggesting the Farmers Insurance Open as a potential return venue supports the earlier timeline, but does not clarify whether the 2027 reference was a typographical error or reflects uncertainty in Reed’s schedule. No source indicates whether the PGA Tour has formally approved his reinstatement, leaving that step as pending.
