Patrick Nathaniel Reed (born August 5, 1990) is a professional golfer from the United States. He has nine PGA Tour wins, including one major, the 2018 Masters Tournament, and two World Golf Championships, the 2014 WGC-Cadillac Championship, and the 2020 WGC-Mexico Championship. He joined LIV Golf in 2022.
Reed has represented the United States in team games including the Ryder Cup and the Presidents Cup. He earned the nickname “Captain America” as a result of his Ryder Cup performances.
Windsor Wells Reed and Barrett Benjamin are his children.
It was reported in August 2022 that a defamation lawsuit had been filed on Reed’s behalf, alleging that Brandel Chamblee and his employers, Golf Channel, had “conspired… for and with the PGA Tour” to defame Reed by intentionally misreporting various facts through omission and falsification, resulting in harm to his reputation and abuse.
Reed did not invite his parents or sister to his wedding and considers Justine’s family to be close.
Reed’s family has continued to attend events where he has competed, even after Reed requested that security take them out of the 2014 U.S. Open.
