After careful thought and consideration, my family and I have decided that I will no longer compete on the LIV Golf Tour.   I am excited to announce that I am returning to the PGA TOUR as a past champion member for the 2027 season and am eligible to begin competing in PGA TOUR events later this year.   I will continue to compete and play as an Honorary Lifetime Member on the DP World Tour, which is something that I am truly honored and excited to do.   I’m a traditionalist at heart, and I was born to play on the PGA TOUR, which is where my story began with my wife, Justine.   I am very fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way and grateful for the life we have created. I am moving forward in my career, and I look forward to competing on the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. I can’t wait to get back out there and revisit some of the best places on earth.   I want to thank everyone involved for helping me make this decision. Over the last four years, I have learned a lot about myself, about who I am and who I am not, and for that I am forever grateful.   To Dustin Johnson, The Aces, and LIV Golf, I want to thank you for the memories we shared and created together.   To golf fans around the world, I just want to thank you all for your continued support over the years. I just ask that you respect the decision we have made for our family, our children, and our future. Thank you for your continued support.   —Patrick Reed
