On Wednesday, it was announced by Patrick Reed that he had left LIV Golf and will pursue a return to the PGA Tour, which could come into effect as early as late-August.
Now though, following the news, it has also been reported that the Major winner won’t be the only player looking for a way back on to the circuit, as other names have allegedly reinstated their PGA Tour memberships.
According to ESPN’s Paolo Uggetti, Pat Perez, Kevin Na and Hudson Swafford are the trio in question, with the threesome still facing outstanding disciplinary violations from the PGA Tour after joining LIV Golf.
Perez, who previously played for the 4Aces GC before moving into a broadcasting role, has been reinstated by the circuit, but has been told he won’t be allowed to feature in their tournaments until reportedly January 1st 2027.
