Overview

  • Reed secured his first individual LIV Golf victory at Dallas on June 29, earning $4 million and vaulting to fourth in the LIV standings.
  • His switch to LIV Golf in 2022 bars him from earning PGA Tour Ryder Cup points, leaving him outside automatic qualification.
  • Veteran analyst Eamon Lynch warned that Reed’s past team-room disputes could undermine the cohesion Bradley aims to build.
  • Captain Keegan Bradley has pledged to pick the 12 best Americans regardless of tour affiliation, making chemistry as important as results.
  • Reed’s performance at the Open Championship at Royal Portrush is widely regarded as his final chance to force a captain’s-pick selection.
