The day before Brooks Koepka tees it up in his return to the PGA Tour at the Farmers Insurance Open, another former major champion dropped a bombshell, with Patrick Reed announcing Wednesday that he is also leaving LIV Golf, effective immediately.

However, unlike Koepka, Reed cannot return to the tour immediately.

Reed¡¯s announcement came with a different twist, and one that will likely soften some of the criticism the PGA Tour received for its hastily devised Returning Player Program that enabled Koepka to compete right away.
