had already made the decision<\/a> to leave LIV Golf and had reapplied for PGA Tour membership, which was granted on Jan. 12. He will make his PGA Tour return next week at the Farmers Insurance Open.<\/p>\n\u201cI’m already playing on three tours, why not add one more?\u201d Reed joked to the reporters. \u201cI always enjoyed my time out there on the PGA Tour. Let’s be honest, out there, it’s the best tour in the world. Look at what they’ve done in golf \u2026 I could see myself playing there at some point again. But right now, you just never know. Everything’s so fluid.\u201d<\/p>\n
Reed still eligible for plenty of worldwide golf<\/p>\n
In addition to the 14 LIV Golf events Reed played in 2025, he also competed in the four major championships, 10 DP World Tour events and four Asian Tour tournaments.<\/p>\n
Reed is 44th\u00a0in the Official World Golf Ranking, in the Masters as a past champion and all but assured of a spot in the PGA Championship. He will earn an exemption into the U.S. Open if he can stay in the top 100. He finished 26th\u00a0Sunday at the Dubai Invitational.<\/p>\n
He acknowledged he is not eligible for the Returning Member Program announced last week.<\/p>\n
\u201cRight now, it’s not even a decision,\u201d Reed said. \u201cThat was for \u201922 and on winners. So, I definitely would have to think about it \u2026 if that number [came] down to 2018. Right now, it’s hard to say really what we’re going to do or anything like that. Right now, the biggest thing is trying to play some good golf these [two] weeks, not only to solidify myself out here on DP, but to have a good momentum going into the year.\u201d<\/p>\n
