Five years after slipping on the iconic Green Jacket, Patrick Reed would be delighted to see another member of the LIV Golf contingent claim the prize at this year's Masters.
Almost 12 months after the Saudi-backed competition made its debut as the rival to the PGA and European Tours, those who accepted offers to join LIV's lucrative ranks remain vilified in certain circles. But Reed believes that very 'us versus them' mentality has in many ways unified the players, 18 of whom will be present at the first major of 2023.
It helps, of course, that LIV Golf came equipped with a team element to its format, a trait its members like to tout as one of its more appealing in contrast to golf's more established competitions. However, 2018 Masters champion Reed has spoken of a more unilateral bond between him and all others on LIV's books in preparation for his return to Augusta National.
