Patrick Reed won\u2019t be rejoining the PGA Tour just yet<\/a> \u2014 he\u2019ll spend the year playing DP World Tour events, serving a de facto suspension before returning in 2027 \u2014 but it doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t begin to build our excitement for the return of golf\u2019s content king back to the main circuit. Few players, if any, have given us as much to talk about over the years as Reed, and as we strolled down memory lane, it got us thinking about some of his greatest hits. <\/p>\n

Did he really say that? Did someone really say that about him? We picked our 20 favorites.
See if you can match up the infamous Reed quote with who said it in our first-ever newsletter quiz: \u201cHow Well Do You Remember the Patrick Reed Experience?\u201d Answers, and the source where you can find them, are linked below.<\/p>\n

1. \u201cDid I say I liked Patrick Reed? Are you putting those words in my mouth?”<\/p>\n

2. \u201cThere is one way to shut these people up. Go out there and win this thing by more than two shots. You go win by five or six and you trounce everyone on Sunday. I mean, does it matter?\u201d<\/p>\n

3. \u201cAnyone else would get a drop out of there any day of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n

4. \u201cEvery day, I saw \u2018Leave your egos at the door. They do that better than us. \u2026 For somebody as successful in the Ryder Cup as I am, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s smart to sit me twice.\u201d<\/p>\n

5. \u201cI don’t know that they’d piss on him if he was on fire, to tell you the truth.”<\/p>\n

6. \u201cI guess my name needs to be Jordan Spieth, guys. I want a third opinion, from an unbiased source.\u201d<\/p>\n

7. \u201cNormally you\u2019re working together, but we want to beat each other every time. So even when we\u2019ve been on the same team, it\u2019s been a match against each other. In alternate shot, if we don\u2019t win a hole, I want it to be his fault and he wants it to be my fault. So we\u2019ve almost played every single match we\u2019ve been involved in together against each other.\u201d<\/p>\n

8. \u201cIf you\u2019re going to act like an immature little child then you might as well be treated like one.\u201d<\/p>\n

9. \u201cI just don\u2019t see a lot of guys that have done that, besides Tiger Woods, of course, and, you know, the other legends of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. \u201cThis is going to follow him around like the video of Nixon saying \u2018I\u2019m not a crook.’\u201d<\/p>\n

11. \u201cAn expert forensic videographer broke that down… Altered footage from a copy of LIVE broadcast\u2026from his actual shot to the shot shown in replays- basically DIGITALLY ALTERED to publicly smear and cause damages to PREED.\u201d<\/p>\n

12. \u201cI don\u2019t think it would be a big deal if it wasn\u2019t Patrick Reed. I think, it\u2019s almost like, a lot of people within the game, it\u2019s almost like a hobby to kick him while it\u2019s down. If it wasn\u2019t Patrick Reed, it wouldn\u2019t be getting quite so much attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

13. \u201cEvery time I play you, it\u2019s like I run into a buzzsaw. You just cut me down.\u201d<\/p>\n

14. \u201cI got a subpoena on Christmas Eve. I was trying to have a nice time with my family. If someone shows up on your doorstep and delivers that, you’re not going to take that well. I’m living in reality. I don’t know where he [Reed] is living. If I were in his shoes, I wouldn’t expect a hello or a handshake. I don’t see how you can pretend like nothing’s happening \u2026 I didn\u2019t see a tee coming my direction at all, but apparently that\u2019s what happened. And if roles were reversed and I\u2019d have thrown that tee at him, I\u2019d be expecting him [to file] a lawsuit.\u201d<\/p>\n

15. \u201cI don’t know, my back still hurts from the Ryder Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

16. \u201cIf you make a mistake maybe once, you could maybe understand, but to give a bit of a bulls**t response like the camera angle \u2026 that\u2019s pretty up there. I know Pat pretty good, and he\u2019s always been nice to me, so I don\u2019t want to say anything bad about him, but anyone cheating the rules, I\u2019m not up for that. I don\u2019t have any sympathy for anyone that cheats.\u201d<\/p>\n

17. \u201cThe Reeds have a miserable relationship with the PGA Tour,” a source said. “I know nothing would make them happier than giving the Tour a big middle finger.\u201d<\/p>\n

18. \u201cIt was interesting, because my mother-in-law’s birthday was yesterday. She turned 59, and she goes, ‘I want you to shoot my age tomorrow.’ I said OK. Obviously I didn’t come close, but at least someone did it for me.”<\/p>\n

19. \u201cRORY MCILROY DID THE SAME THING TODAY ON HOLE 18! AND DIDN\u2019T EVEN CALL A RULES OFFICIAL OVER TO DEEM THE BALL EMBEDDED. END OF STORY.\u201d<\/p>\n

20. \u201cHe is so full of s**t. Blindsided my ass. He begged to play with Tiger\u2026He would have shot 83 on his own ball Saturday. He totally screwed Tiger. He has no clue how to play team golf. I saw firsthand how bad of a team player he was. Eleven players understood the concept of team golf and only one didn’t. Unfortunately, that one proved to be too costly for the team to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n
