"It is a really fluid one depending on how much it [the fine] is because it also depends where the event is, Reed said. There are so many different factors that go into it. Trying to wrap your head around all of it, it's confusing. I'd rather just tee it up and play; and if costs me this, that, whatever, I'll go play."
"Reed's membership of both the DP World and LIV circuits gets him sanctioned by the former every time he tees up on the latter. He lost an appeal over that situation in 2023 yet, unlike some others, opted to keep playing on what was once the European Tour. Reed's position is further affected by the general understanding that LIV will no longer pay fines on behalf of its members from the end of 2025."
Patrick Reed faces DP World Tour fines when he competes in LIV events, potentially reducing his Dubai Desert Classic winnings. Reed joked that making a profit on the DP World Tour in 2026 will be difficult and effectively starts the season in the red. He lost an appeal in 2023 but continued to play on the European-based tour. LIV is expected to stop paying fines for members after 2025, adding financial uncertainty. Reed described the situation as fluid and confusing but said he will continue to play. A second-round 66 left him nine under, one clear of Andy Sullivan.
