Patrick Reed's initial claim to have joined LIV Golf in order to spend more time with his family looks more questionable by the day with the American having entered his fifth tournament in September alone.
The 2018 Masters champion, long seen as a divisive figure in the sport having been the subject of multiple rules controversies, joined the Saudi-backed tour in June for a reported fee of around £50 million. He cited LIV's lesser schedule as his primary motivation for the move, arguing that the PGA Tour was wearing him down.
“It wears on you as an athlete, wears on you as a person, as a father, and this is for me, I feel like this is the best decision ever,” Reed said. “Now I can compete at the highest level, but also prepare and get ready for every single event and be able to be home, and even though I’ll be grinding at home getting ready, I’ll be able to spend time with the kids.”
