Kevin Kisner reveals the level of hatred former college teammates have for Patrick Reed

Patrick Reed hasn’t made many new friends recently after he was the fulcrum of the messy fallout after the USA’s heavy defeat in the 2018 Ryder Cup. Reed’s outspokenness at the time didn’t provoke Tour players to voice their personal opinion on the current Masters Champion, but this week Kevin Kisner aired a stark revelation of how the Texan is view by his former college teammates.

Speaking to Golf Digest, Kisner talked about the level of animosity that Reed’s ex-college teammates still have for him, stating

“They all hate him — any guys that were on the team with him (at Georgia) hate him and that’s the same way at Augusta. I don’t know that they’d piss on him if he was on fire, to tell you the truth.”

In a book written in 2016 by author Shane Ryan, it was revealed that there had been cheating and stealing accusations leveled against Reed from his teammates at Georgia while he was playing for the university. Reed denied the claims, though was subsequently removed from the team in 2009.

It’s worth noting that, Kisner, though a graduate of the University of Georgia, did not attend the school at the same time as Reed, and none of Reed’s teammates from his time in college, including Tour pros Brian Harman, Harris English, and Russell Henley would confirm Kisner’s view to Golf Digest.

Kisner’s revelation comes after an anonymous member of the U.S. Ryder Cup side told the New York Times after this year’s team event that Reed “is so full of shit” and that the 28-year-old “has no clue how to play team golf”.

Reed held his tongue following those incendiary remarks, but whether or not he will do the same after Kisner’s statement remains to be seen.

Reed stole $400 and a Scotty Cameron from a UGA teammate.

Kisner should refer to Proverbs to see how the Lord views slander and gossip.

  T Bone: if it was slander, you can bet P Reid would have sued him already.
  
  Not even Reid is going to court to deny the obvious.

I don’t have any animus toward Patrick Reed, but what he did in the bunker was clearly cheating. The penalty was not nearly serious enough.

Your headline contradicts your own words: “It’s worth noting that, Kisner, though a graduate of the University of Georgia, did not attend the school at the same time as Reed, and none of Reed’s teammates from his time in college, including Tour pros Brian Harman, Harris English, and Russell Henley would confirm Kisner’s view to Golf Digest.”

I’m not defending Reed, as I wasn’t there, no have I spoken to anyone who was. But, you should be ashamed of your click bait headline and “fake news”. You’re not a journalist, and shame on you, sir.

  The headline says former teammates, not HIS former teammates. You should be ashamed of your low reading comprehension, and your using the term “fake news” tells me all I need to know about you.

Reeds performance at Presidents cup last day of singles was nothing short of spectacular!
IMO Patrick revved the team up to win. Patrick is a closer, and going down the stretch can beat ANYONE!…he will be eating their lunch at some point…perhaps that’s what they are afraid of…

  You’re nuts of you think Reed deserves any credit for his Presidents Cup play. He was junk for 3 days and showed up for singles. If that was the Ryder Cup it would have been too late by Sunday.

Well coming from a bunch of Georgia boys who weren’t that fond of Reed, especially being from Texas and plus he was beating the you no what out of them on the course, it doesn’t surprise me a bunch of bulldogs don’t care for him. I’ve heard rumors Reed was set up by the good old boys from Georgia. Mr. Kisner, Mr. English, Mr. Harman, along with a number of other graduates…maybe you should all go pound sand.

  I read somewhere players accuse him of stealing a watch out of a locker…or was that their set up? IMO watches are very personal things, can be seen, seen if sold etc. I don’t believe this for a second. Why would Patrick want a whining losers watch anyway?
  The guilty keep pushing this negative story about Patrick, why???…because it was a set up and they are bathing in their own BS!
  Patrick when the chips are down you excel…not steal IMO. Give these players a whopping every time on the course PLEASE!!!

Where there’s smoke there’s fire. To me Reed has done nothing to cast any shadow of a doubt that he isn’t who they say he is. In this politically correct world all I see are those who don’t want to public ally say anything bad, I’m sure this will all come out over time

    You mean “like a Republican”. Who is speaks disparagingly about political correctness? Certainly NOT Democrats? Who accuses others of his own failings? Sheesh, indeed. We, the public, know little to nothing about Reed’s character other than what we have actually seen. We’re not in locker rooms or in peoples’ heads/hearts.

Why prolong this adolescent exercise? Golfers, writers, self-appointed critics, so on, let it lie. ‘I don’t like you; you don’t like me.’ Playground spat.

  I’m a former journalist, and the Shane Ryan book was tabloid trash. Lots of unsubstantiated rumors. Also, Reed further ruffled the UG Bulldogs when he led (then) Augusta State to a pair of national championships.

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

What is Lorem Ipsum?

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Why do we use it?

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).

GolfWRX is on site for the second major of 2026: The PGA Championship from Aronimink in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania.

The tournament’s location, just outside Philadelphia, and its status as a major championship mean GolfWRXers are in for a treat: WITBs from a strong field, custom gear celebrating the PGA Championship, and the rich culture of the City of Brotherly Love — we have noted a relative absence of cheesesteak-themed items thus far this week, but most of the rest of the usual suspects are well represented.
