Patrick Reed claimed European golf fans are "wittier and kinder" than Americans in his evidence to the Sports Resolutions case into LIV Golf.
The DP World Tour has today won its legal battle against 12 LIV players - including Reed - who committed "serious breaches" of the Tour's code of behaviour by playing in LIV Golf events without permission. The 2018 Masters champion is an honorary member of the DP World Tour - and the self-styled Captain America for his love of the Ryder Cup.
And Reed often crosses the Atlantic to play events in the UK or the Gulf. He flicked a tee at Rory McIlroy on the driving range at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic before a controversial ruling over his ball in a tree.
