Patrick Reed claims that his DP World Tour login credentials are not working

Published

Despite resigning his membership to the PGA Tour, 2018 Masters champion Patrick Reed is happy to retain his Honorary Lifetime Membership of the European/DP World Tour, this week appearing as the second highest ranked player at the Open de France.

As part of the tour’s ban against LIV players, organizers removed Reed’s name from the entry list for the Scottish Open in July but he since appeared at the 150th Open Championship, finishing 42nd, and at the tour’s flagship event, the BMW PGA at Wentworth, where he was part of he top-10 that also included LIV Talor Gooch – both prize-money payouts covering any fines that were administered.

With the LIV series unable to claim points on the OWGR, Reed has been seeking qualifying points on alternate tours, recently taking part at the International Series Singapore, an event that carries the backing of the Greg Norman-led organization.

At Wentworth, Reed was at pains to comment how much he enjoys the challenges of European golf, particularly the links and more difficult of courses, such as he will find at Le Golf National this week.

“I enjoy the different questions we get asked on a links,” he said. “There are like 10 different ways you can play every shot. So you have to commit to one way and allow all that other noise in your head to escape. In that respect, links golf is more mental than physical. On tour, we all have the physical talent. But the winner is always the guy who can really believe the ball will fly a certain number and let it run to the hole. Or the guy who can hit a shot so far off what appears to be the correct line, yet know that the ball will get back to the flag.”

Whilst he hasn’t played the course in individual competition, he was part of the defeated US team at the 2018 Ryder Cup, winning one point from three matches by defeating Tyrrell Hatton in the Sunday singles.

Despite that ‘loyalty’ to the DP World Tour, he has again hit the news with a controversial take on a problem – he can’t log in to his DP World Tour account.

After finishing 12th at LIV Chicago on Sunday, Reed told Golf.com writer Sean Zak that his login credentials haven’t worked for weeks, despite trying to reset his password.

Of the 40-odd replies to the tweet, there are none in favour of the former world number six, now ranked 50 and desperate to at least be in a qualifying position for the majors.

Whatever the view, Reed is a player that thrives on adversity. Debutantes rarely win at LGN, but what a story it would be if the former ‘Captain America’ could do so.

On Friday morning, Ladies European Tour player, Hannah Gregg, took to social media to share her weekly expenses playing on the LET.

“Expenses of my first week on Ladies European Tour: Flights: $2600 Work Visa: $350 

  • Food: $377 
  • Caddie: $0 because I have an amazing Fiancé 
  • Hotel: $0 because  @GregChalmersPGA sorted me host housing for the week!  
  • Rental Car: +0 because the Tour Tee guys GAVE me their car  
  • Gas: $165 
  • Entry Fee: $130 
  • Lounge Pass for caddie: $50 
  • Gym: $0 
  • Yardage book: $0 
  • Total expenses: $3672 

Made cut, finished 54th, total earned: $1244 Factor in 35% tax on earnings. To break even, needed to finish 24th. To make money, 21st. Guess we have our goals laid out for next event!”

When factoring in Gregg’s free housing, free caddie and free rental car, it’s evident that most LET players would have to finish well inside of the top-20 to make any money.

With ridiculous amounts of money being thrown around in professional golf these days, it’s important to remember the other side of the coin as well. There are countless professionals out there who struggle to get by on their golf salary.

After a seventeen-month application process, a 54-hole golf tour was deemed eligible for OWGR points.

Unfortunately, for LIV Golf and their fans, it was the Clutch Pro Tour.

After the decision, which is effective immediately, OWGR chairman Peter Dawson issued a statement.

“This is a significant milestone for golf, and OWGR is deeply encouraged by the achievement and the continued efforts in developing the sport of golf in the United Kingdom.”

“We look forward to watching the progress of the Clutch Pro Tour as it continues to play a key role in the development of players from the region,” Dawson added.

The Clutch Pro Tour operates in the United Kingdom and features a 36-hole cut. It also has an open qualifying school.

As first reported by Bob Harig of Sports Illustrated, Charlie Woods will be attempting to qualify for this year’s U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2.

The first stage of qualifying for this year’s tournament will be an 18-hole local event on Thursday, April 25th, in Port St. Lucie, Florida.

There will be 84 players in the field, five of which will reach the 36-hole qualifier that will take place in June.

Earlier this season, Charlie attempted to qualify for the Cognizant Classic, and struggled, shooting an 86.

If the younger Woods is able to qualify, he will tee it up in the same field as his father in a few months at one of the more historic U.S. Open venues.
