Key Highlights

• “I mean, if we play well enough, we had to pay fines to still continue to show support on this tour, then so be it.”Patrick Reed tees off on the first hole during day two of the Hero Dubai Desert Classic 2026 at Emirates Golf Club on January 23, 2026 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.“I love playing everywhere,” he added.
• “If I had to play 45 weeks a year, I'd go out and do it just to say, ‘Hey, you can play all of them.’… I love being that one American that comes over and tries to be a thorn in everyone's side when all the Europeans are out playing.”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton have drawn fines potentially totaling several million pounds due to LIV tournaments conflicting with the DP World Tour, where they still retain membership.
