Patrick Reed will play the Acciona Open of Spain in two weeks at the Club de Campo Villa de Madrid. As Ten Golf has learned, the controversial American golfer has received an invitation to compete in the tournament. Therefore, he is the third player from LIV Golf confirmed for the Madrid event, along with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton. But they won’t be the only ones. There will be at least five, as both David Puig and Eugenio López Chacarra enter the tournament by national ranking and have always expressed their desire to play both the Open of Spain and the Estrella Damm Andalucía Masters in Sotogrande.
It will be Reed’s third regular tournament in 2024 on the DP World Tour. He also played the Open of Italy and the BMW International Open, delivering two good performances, finishing 29th and 13th, respectively. However, it is a curious circumstance that, despite having already played more than a hundred tournaments valid for the European Circuit, counting Majors, he has not yet managed to win a regular one. He did achieve victory in two World Championships, as well as in the Masters of Augusta in 2018, the year after Sergio García. In those more than 100 tournaments, specifically 103, he has added 16 top 5 and 30 top 10 and his earnings exceed ten million euros. He is a member of the Aces of LIV Golf, whose captain is Dustin Johnson. Reed is not having his best season in LIV Golf. He ranks twentieth in the ranking and his only top 10s have been a third in Houston and a ninth in Miami.
Reed joins an extensive list of important players who will participate in the Open of Spain. It is, without a doubt, the best field in recent years and one of the best in history. Players such as Jon Rahm (unless there is some unexpected problem in the birth of his daughter, scheduled at the latest for the Monday prior to the Open of Spain), Shane Lowry, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton or Victor Perez, among others, are confirmed, in addition to practically the entire Armada with the incorporation of young people like Josele Ballester, champion of the US Amateur.
