It appears that Patrick Reed will continue to play a lot of golf this month.

Reed has agreed to participate in the following two Asian Tour competitions after quitting the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf.

The Singapore and South Korea tournaments, which take place from August 11–14 and 18–21, respectively, are a part of the Asian Tour's International Series, which LIV Golf invested $300 million earlier this year. The Asian Circuit continues to be a way for those players to earn points that could protect their global rankings because the LIV tour does not award world-ranking points (although its application with the OWGR board is currently being reviewed). 

In the current LIV field in Singapore, only Reed (No. 46), Yuki Inamori (No. 81), Scott Vincent (No. 88), and Sodom Kaewkanjana are among the players who are presently ranked inside the top 100 in the world (No. 94). It is unlikely that the tournament will award many points toward the world rankings because it hasn't drawn many of the best players in the globe.

Both competitions will offer a $1.5 million total, including a $270,000 first-place award, according to an Asian Tour press release. Players received extra money for placing joint 13th in the LIV competition last week at Trump Bedminster.

Because of his previous remarks about wishing to play less, Reed's presence in the Asian Tour fields is noteworthy. Despite taking pride in his international status throughout his career—only once (the pandemic-affected 2020)—Reed stated that he joined LIV Golf to play fewer tournaments and spend more time with his family. The FedExCup schedule, according to Reed, "forces you to have to play, which is not doing anything for you emotionally or physically."

In contrast, he added, "with LIV Golf, we actually have an offseason where not only can we get fit and work on our bodies, but we're basically enabling ourselves throughout the year to try to peak at the correct moments rather than feeling like you have to play every single week."

"On top of that, just the quality of life for us as players now, having fewer events, being able to spend more time at home with the family, being able to spend time with your children if you have kids,and not having to sit there and play three or four weeks straight before taking a week off and attempting to prepare for the next week."

LIV Golf completed its third of eight scheduled events last week (Reed placed fifth), and its next competition is slated for September 2-4 outside of Boston. LIV will host 14 events in 2019; numerous players are anticipated to add Asian Tour dates to their calendars.
