“To be honest with you, I mean, I don’t really get any satisfaction from making a decision and watching the other guys have to sit out a year and have the repercussions of that,“ he said.
“The more satisfaction is going out there and playing solid golf. You never want to see guys struggle or have to sit out, things like that. I mean, we’re all competitors. We’re all athletes and really, at the end of the day, a lot of those guys that are going through that are good friends of mine.
“You sit there, and you just hope that they are able to come out and do what I did: Come out and play solid golf and come out on the PGA Tour.“
The 2018 Masters champion also discussed his ambitions for 2027 on the PGA Tour.
“I mean, I want to go out there — I haven’t really set my goals yet, but obviously going back on the PGA Tour, go make the Ryder Cup Team,“ Reed said.
“Go out and get back to the winner’s circle on the PGA Tour like I was right before I left. Go out there and assert myself into the Top 10 in the world again.
“Get back up to where I feel like I should be, and just continue giving myself opportunities and having fun on the weekend and compete in the majors and hopefully get more than just the one green jacket I have. Hopefully win a couple more.“
