Patrick Reed

Reed achieved his first major title at the 2018 Masters, beating Rickie Fowler by a stroke eight months after being a joint runner-up in the PGA Championship, and he has won two World Golf Championships, most recently in Mexico in February 2020 when he defeated Bryson DeChambeau by one.

The winner of the 2006 Junior Open, Reed has since made it into the world’s top six and been part of the last three Ryder and Presidents Cup teams. Although America lost at Gleneagles in 2014 he was their top-scorer and unbeaten, while at Hazeltine he again top-scored for his team and beat Rory McIlroy in a memorable singles battle.

The Texan had already won twice on the PGA Tour when he became, at 23, the youngest winner of a World Golf Championships event. That was the 2014 Cadillac Championship in Miami and he began the following season by beating Jimmy Walker in a play-off at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions in Hawaii.

Reed subsequently added the 2016 Barclays title, was second to Francesco Molinari on the 2018 European Tour money list after a joint runner-up finish at the season-ending DP World Tour Championship, and in 2019 grabbed the Northern Trust title by one from Abraham Ancer.
