At Masters, Justine Karain Reed Back in Focus as Patrick Returns to PGA Tour

Media attention has shifted to her role in shaping his rise.

Overview

  • Patrick Reed’s reentry to the PGA Tour and appearance at the 2026 Masters has renewed coverage of his wife, Justine Karain Reed.
  • Justine worked as his caddie during qualifying rounds and his first two PGA Tour seasons, including his 2013 Wyndham Championship win.
  • She stepped away from caddying in 2014 when pregnant, and her brother Kessler Karain has served as Patrick’s caddie since.
  • During the 2018 Ryder Cup, she used X to dispute reports that Patrick did not want to play with Jordan Spieth, and Spieth later said their relationship has been fine.
  • Reporting has detailed a yearslong estrangement between Patrick and his family, adding off-course context to the couple’s public profile.
