Patrick Reed downplays tee incident with Rory McIlroy, not expecting drama at Masters Champions Dinner

If there’s going to be any drama at the Champions Dinner in April, it won’t be from Patrick Reed.

At least, so he says now.

Reed, who was at the center of a skirmish with Rory McIlroy last month in Dubai, insisted on Thursday ahead of LIV Golf’s season opener in Mexico that the annual winner’s dinner at The Masters will be solely focused on Scottie Scheffler.

“The thing is, the Champions Dinner has nothing to do with myself or any other person in that room except for Scottie Scheffler,” Reed told Golf Digest.
