American Patrick Reed, whose dazzling career includes the 2018 US Masters title, has confirmed his participation in the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid. His inclusion adds to what will be one of the strongest fields in the recent history of the event, which takes place at Club de Campo Villa de Madrid from 26 to 29 September.
Reed joins a stunning line-up of players already announced including Spain’s Jon Rahm; Englishman Tommy Fleetwood, a silver medallist at the 2024 Paris Olympics; Irishman Shane Lowry, a flagbearer for his nation at the Olympic Games and Open Champion in 2019; England’s Tyrell Hatton, who has a long list of prestigious wins under his belt on both the PGA Tour and the DP World Tour; Frenchman Matthieu Pavon, the defending champion after he conquered the Open de España in 2023; and another home player in José Luis Ballester, champion of the 2024 US Amateur.
At 34 years of age, Reed, who turned professional in 2011, has won nine times on the PGA Tour, a reflection of the quality of a player whose game began to flourish in 2013, when he topped the leaderboard at the Wyndham Championship. The win opened the floodgates for the American and he soon became one of the biggest names on the PGA Tour, winning the 2014 Desert Classic, the 2014 WGC – Cadillac Championship, the 2015 Tournament of Champions, and the 2016 Northern Trust Open, among others.
Two years later, Patrick Reed proved he has the mettle to win on the biggest stages with a one-shot victory over Ricky Fowler at the 2018 US Masters, where Jon Rahm finished fourth.
Following his greatest triumph, the Texan continued to prove his quality, collecting more trophies for his cabinet by winning another Northern Trust Open in 2019 and, also for the second time, the WGC – Cadillac Championship in 2020, one of the biggest events in the game, followed by the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open.
A huge fan of American Football, and supporter of the Houston Texans and the San Francisco 49ers, one of Patrick Reed’s favourite lines, coined by his wife Justine is “nerves just mean you’re prepared”. You can be sure he’ll be prepared when he tees it up for his debut at this year’s ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid.
Tickets for the ACCIONA Open de España presented by Madrid are now available.
