The former LIV Golf player and 2018 Masters champion is playing some of the best golf of his career, and he’s preparing to make the leap back to the PGA Tour. “When you look at it, the best players in the world and the deepest fields from top to bottom are on the PGA TOUR,” Reed said Monday afternoon at Augusta National. “I've played, now, every tour.

I've played on every single one of them. ” Reed was one of the earliest signees to LIV Golf, and part of Dustin Johnson’s championship 4Aces team. In 2025, Reed claimed his first individual LIV title in Dallas.

But at the end of that season, his contract with LIV ended, giving him options beyond just the Saudi-backed golf tour. After Brooks Koepka announced his departure from LIV Golf shortly before Christmas, the wheels started to turn in Reed’s head. At the Dubai Desert Classic in January, the wheels led him toward a plan.
