Patrick Reed has revealed he is out of contract with LIV Golf and could return to the PGA Tour after his four-shot victory at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic. The 2018 Masters champion, who also won the DP World Tour event, said he has not yet agreed a new deal with the Saudi-backed circuit.
Speaking after his win, Reed said: 'We're still finalising the contract. We're not complete on that yet. Am I a free agent? At the moment, yes, sir.' He added that he still plans to tee up at LIV's season opener in Riyadh on 4 February, but negotiations are ongoing.
Reed has remained a member of the DP World Tour, and finishing in the top ten of the Race to Dubai would earn him a PGA Tour card for next year. 'If I ended up not playing on LIV this year, I would be out here playing more on this tour and trying to secure one of those spots in the Top 10, and allow myself to get back on the PGA Tour,' he explained.
The American started the final round with a four-shot lead and carded a level-par 72 to secure victory, moving back into the world's top 30. 'It's an amazing win,' Reed said. 'Hopefully I can carry that form on throughout the year and make some noise.' Andy Sullivan finished second after a closing 71.
