Patrick Reed has split with equipment sponsor PXG – less than six months after signing a deal with the Scottsdale brand.
Reed, 31, has been spotted playing non-PXG clubs in recent weeks and was photographed yesterday wearing a ‘LIV Golf’ baseball cap ahead of his debut on the Saudi-funded circuit this week.
He has been completely removed from the PXG website and is no longer listed amongst its ‘Troops’, the term the company uses for its brand ambassadors.

A source with knowledge of the matter told bunkered.co.uk that the former Masters champion is “no longer on staff” but added that this was “unrelated to LIV”.
Reed was announced a PXG staffer on January 6 this year having been spotted using their clubs before Christmas.
“PXG is such a natural fit for me,” he said at the time. “I love the
message they send and the brand they have built, and that takes a great
team. I’m so excited to be a part of the PXG Troops and for what is to
come.
“Safe to say, I’m very excited about this year.”
