Just Wikipedia’d his residence and saw he went to U High for high school and UGA for college before being expelled. Had no clue he lived in BR. Wonder why he didn’t go to LSU on golf scholly?

other players didn't like him, character issues.

He then stole and cheated and got kicked off the UGA golf team

His dad got transferred for work to Baton Rouge. LSU did very much recruit him for golf. Patrick would hit range balls for hours every day at LSU golf course range.

His dad got transferred again for work, this time to Atlanta. UGA was elite at the time. Chose them. Got kicked off his first year.

There were some personality conflicts with Patrick and LSU players but it was an active consideration by both sides. Patrick loved LSU football while he was here and still cheers for them. His wife is an LSU alum.

Can confirm he is a huge douche. Heard that from multiple people who went to school with him.

And his wife’s younger sister also went to LSU and is way hotter than her. His wife is pretty meh compared to other golf wives.

Was reading an article last night about how he had a falling out with most of his immediate family and now they’re not even allowed (per him?) at his tournaments.

Fun fact, his wife’s younger sister was in the same class as him at Uhigh and he dated her first. They eventually broke up and he ended up marrying her older sister.

I hung in the same circle as him while he lived in BR. Can confirm he’s a total douche. He was also basically a child prodigy that new he was going to be a professional golfer since middle school, and those guys often turn out super weird.

ESPN article

quote:

Nobody is quite sure why the golfing public has little use for Reed. Perhaps enough fans have read about his misbehavior in college or have been turned off by his brash and boastful style. (He announced in the spring of 2014 that he was already among the world's top five players.) Perhaps some are aware that Reed has been estranged from his parents, younger sister and other family members for years over issues neither side of the divide will discuss for the record. Bill and Jeannette Reed, Patrick's parents, were expected to watch the Masters in their home only a few miles from Augusta National. They are not welcome at their son's tournaments, majors or minors. Asked if his family's absence made Sunday's triumph bittersweet, Reed said, "I'm just out here to play golf and try to win golf tournaments."

It seems he has basically abandoned his family for whatever reason and really embraced his in laws (His BIL is his caddy). I’m thinking it can’t be that weird with the in laws.

I remember his wife was his caddy when he first burst on the scene.

Seems his drive really drove him to be great a golf and it probably was not in the most nurturing way. So the reason he is a great golfer and also estranged from his folks probably is due to how he was driven to succeed at a young age.

My understanding is Earl Woods was a pretty strict teacher and very demanding as well.

How do you have conflicts with teammates in golf ? You play your game. Others can't putt for you.
