Patrick Reed will make his first DP World Tour appearance for 18 months when he tees it up at the BMW International Open in Munich – adding a Ryder Cup flavour by being confirmed along with Luke Donald.
Reed was last seen on the DP World Tour at the 2023 Dubai Desert Classic when he had his infamous tee tangle with Rory McIlroy before losing the title to the Northern Irishman by a shot.
