For the first time in over ten years, Patrick Reed of LIV Golf is no longer ranked among the top 100 players in the Official World Golf Ranking.
It was evident that Eddie Pepperell found it humorous that Patrick Reed was expected to fall out of the top 100 global rankings.
The 33-year-old Reed, a multiple PGA Tour winner and past Masters champion, was once No. 5 in the Official World Golf Ranking.
But according to statistics expert @VC606, the American will drop out of the top 100 this coming week.
His drop in the world rankings is definitely due to the fact that LIV Golf does not receive ranking points for their tournaments.
There has been much debate over whether or not LIV
There has been extensive discussion on whether or not LIV deserves points.
In October 2023, the Saudi Arabia-sponsored tour received an official denial of OWGR accreditation.
Regarding the news, Pepperell wrote on X, “Terrific player still.” “Hopefully, he won’t sue the OWGR.”
His remark was obviously a reference to the American’s attempt to sue certain golf media members for defamation, alleging they had filed a $750 million lawsuit.
Pepperell referred to Reed as “a f—ing clown” after learning of this. Ever since, the case has been dropped.
A US federal judge decided that Reed had to reimburse the journalists’ and news organizations’ legal fees after dismissing the case.
It was determined that Reed filed “meritless lawsuits to stifle free speech.” Since he was 23, Reed had maintained that the defendants had plotted against him.
The history of Pepperell and Reed is even older.
How on earth were you thinking? When Reed was famously accused of cheating during the 2018 Hero World Challenge, Pepperell wrote on X.
The incident was reexamined in April 2023 after @useGolfFACTS, an account, claimed the video had been digitally altered.
That assertion was made in response to Pepperell on X.
That claim was in a reply to Pepperell on X. “Wasn’t expecting this today,” he wrote when he read the message.
Justine, Reed’s wife, is thought to be the one behind the @useGolfFACTS account.
The American’s remarks that stand out are almost exactly in line with Reed’s decline from the top 100 in the OWGR.
A decade or so ago, Reed made headlines when he declared the WGC-Cadillac Championship and said some very daring things.
It was Reed’s third PGA Tour victory at the time, and he said he thought he was among the world’s five best players.
Reed made a reference to Tiger Woods’ exceptional amateur career when he said, “I just don’t see a lot of guys that have done that.”
