Summary
- Patrick Reed won the Dubai Desert Classic, his first stroke play win since 2024.
- Reed chose the PGA Tour over LIV Golf despite a contract offer.

Patrick Reed recently claimed victory at the Dubai Desert Classic, marking his first stroke play win since a 2024 Asia Tour event.
He held a significant four-stroke lead entering the final round. Despite LIV Golf's interest, Reed announced his decision to rejoin the PGA Tour.
Reed described the decision as quick, driven by a desire to return to traditional golf. He sought the "adrenaline" and "battles" of competing against top players on the PGA Tour.
Reed expressed no ill will towards LIV Golf but preferred the PGA Tour's schedule. He aims to balance his international commitments while regaining full PGA Tour status.
Reed is set to compete full-time on the DP World Tour this season, having already secured two wins and leading the Race to Dubai standings. This allows him flexibility and time to prepare for his return to the PGA Tour.
Looking ahead, Reed is focused on the Masters, a tournament he won in 2018. He views Augusta National as a challenging course requiring patience and creativity. Reed has consistently performed well at Augusta, with four top-10 finishes since his victory.
