Patrick Reed’s return to the PGA Tour is still weeks away, but tournament invitations are already arriving.
The 35-year-old revealed at this week’s Genesis Scottish Open that he has received invitations from events in the FedEx Cup Fall Series. Reed’s suspension ends in August, after which he’ll be eligible to accept them.
“We have had some invites from a decent amount of them. I knew coming from the U.S. Open through to The Open it was going to be five straight weeks of playing. Then I have three weeks off, that is when I’m going to finalise the rest of the schedule going forward,” Reed said.

From September onward, Reed looks set to return to the PGA Tour. He’ll be able to feature as a non-member through invitations, as confirmed by Bunkered.
However, the 2018 Masters champion is eligible to play in the Genesis Scottish Open. It is co-sanctioned by the DP World Tour, and the American has Honorary Lifetime Membership. He was visibly happy on his return after more than four years.
“It is awesome to see some familiar faces from the past,” Reed said.
Unlike Brooks Koepka, Reed wasn’t eligible for the Returning Members Program. As a result, his wait has to be longer.
The American has had considerable success on the DP World Tour this season and is on the brink of making history.
Patrick Reed on making history on the DP World Tour
Reed has found his place on the DP World Tour after his exit from LIV Golf. Currently, he stands at the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings and wishes to extend his lead.
“To be the first American to come over here and win the Race to Dubai, it would mean a lot to me,” Reed said, as per Bunkered.
“It is a huge goal of mine. The plan is to keep playing solid golf, try and hoist as many trophies as I can and at the end hopefully I have a chance.”
Earlier this year, Reed lifted two titles: the Hero Dubai Desert Classic in January and the Qatar Masters in February. That put him in a solid position to finish at the top of the Race to Dubai Rankings.
Moreover, the 35-year-old is well on his way to securing one of the 10 PGA Tour cards on offer via the Race to Dubai Rankings and strengthening his place on the American circuit next year.
