Patrick Reed Wins Qatar Masters, Seizes Race to Dubai Lead

The surge puts him on track to reclaim PGA Tour membership for 2027 through the DP World Tour pathway.

Overview

  • Reed closed with a 2-under 70 to finish 16-under at Doha Golf Club, winning by two over Calum Hill after key birdies on Nos. 10, 11 and 14.
  • The victory is his second in three weeks, bookending a playoff runner-up in Bahrain between wins in Dubai and Qatar.
  • He now tops the Race to Dubai with about 2,260 points, already exceeding last season’s threshold for one of the DP World Tour’s top-10 PGA Tour cards.
  • After failing to agree new terms with LIV Golf, Reed left the league and is pursuing a PGA return under a plan that allows non-member starts from August 25, 2026 with reinstatement targeted for 2027.
  • He is projected to re-enter the world top 20 for the first time since 2021 and earned $467,500 for the Qatar win, as some fans and commentators urge the PGA Tour to reconsider his status.
