His recent win at the Qatar Masters has nearly secured him one of the 10 full cards available through the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>However, with two wins already this year, there are growing calls for him to be reinstated sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Lavner discussed the possibility of an early return on the Golf Channel Podcast and argued that the PGA Tour should make use of Reed\u2019s current form.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love this idea because if we\u2019re already rewriting the rules with this Returning Member Program, here\u2019s another rule that they should write in: a battlefield promotion on the DP World Tour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you win three times, you should automatically jump to the PGA Tour. They already do it for the Korn Ferry Tour. You do have the strategic alliance, expedite Patrick Reed to the PGA Tour if he wins one more time,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Reed\u2019s first PGA Tour event likely set in July<\/p>\n<p>If Reed gets the chance to return to the PGA Tour and takes it, it would be a blow for the European circuit.<\/p>\n<p>He has given an immediate lift to some of the DP World Tour events that do not carry the same profile as those in the Rolex Series.<\/p>\n<p>As of now, it looks like his first event even partly connected to the PGA Tour will be at the Scottish Open in July.<\/p>\n<p>With his world ranking now inside the top 20, Reed should also qualify for The Players Championship in March.<\/p>\n<p>But his suspension is set to keep him out of TPC Sawgrass unless a rule change opens that door. On current form, it is a case they might need to look at more closely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"content-list\">\n<li\/>\n<li\/><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Patrick Reed has found a way to stay in the spotlight, even though he is spending this season&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":578414,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[47],"tags":[217331,43653,1430,10123,1456,62,67,132,68],"class_list":["post-578413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-dp-world","tag-dp-world-tour","tag-golf","tag-patrick-reed","tag-pga-tour","tag-sports","tag-united-states","tag-unitedstates","tag-us"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116043031711657702","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=578413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/578413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/578414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=578413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=578413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=578413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
