Patrick Reed’s caddie thrown out of Presidents Cup after altercation with fan

Published

on

Patrick Reed’s caddie, Kessler Karain, has been kicked out of the Presidents Cup after admitting that he shoved a fan following an altercation on Saturday at the Presidents Cup.

Karain, who is also Reed’s brother in law, admitted to losing his cool after becoming irate after a fan heckled Reed after his 5 and 3 defeat alongside Webb Simpson to Hideki Matsuyama and C.T. Pan on Saturday.

Karin spoke to ESPN and Barstool Sports following the news of his exclusion from the event.

In response to his caddie’s ban from the event, Reed stated

“I respect the Tour’s decision. We are all focused on winning the Presidents Cup tomorrow.”

Reed’s swing coach, Kevin Kirk, is expected to be on the bag for the Texan’s singles match on Sunday.

    Reed should be slapped silly. Tiger was an idiot to allow him to play. Cheating is a bad thing: I know of no one who would do that in a 5$ Nassau.(Except trump, of course; not good company, eh?) Then to say it was a “camera angle”.

    I am sure that the International side heard as bad, in NY. But if someone said it 3 feet from Ernie then Ernie would have popped him. This guy just got shoved? An Ernie felt sorry for him? Give me a break. Sorry Ernie, lost all respect there.

    NYers, may have been as bad, but I never heard of a US player trying to incite the US fans to “sledge” an opposing player or his whole team. Did the whole team cheat? Actually it was the US team in the Bahamas affected by any alleged cheating. Not poor sensitive Cameron Smith. This is just, as well as Adam Scott’s plea to not cheer for the opposing team, just a pathetic double standard. Imagine the scathing a US player would get from the media for s similar comment.

    Reed should not be playing. He should have been replaced by Tiger after his “incident” at Tiger’s tournament. It was predictable that he would be harassed and with he and his families temperament something would happen. I’ve heard all manor of unkind things said to players during a tournament. Most players and caddies ignore it or call a marshal to kick the the patron out. Poor judgement is the kindest thing you can say but then Reed had some pretty poor judgement at the Hero didn’t he.

    PGA golfers are ‘dance monkeys’
    We the people support their lavish life styles.

    Thin edge of the wedge when the “monkeys” begin taking swings at spectators.
    Wonder why there are so many shootings ?

    Two comments above, all in defence of “monkey” retaliation to support lying , cheating
    and all round antisocial behavior of a so called professional athlete.

      My apology to Australians who may be offended by my gun reference.
      Most states in USA have carry gun laws.

      That is not the case in civilized countries like Australia.

    I don’t blame the caddie at at all. Players like everyone else deserve respect.

      I disagree. What Reed and the caddy should have done (and Reed has done this many times before) is to stop the cart and get the officials to remove the fans that were obnoxious and problems. That’s allowable and should be done. And the officials should have removed the offending fan anyway. The fan’s behavior was inexcusable and rude and deserved ejection. But physical assualting the person is NEVER right and deserves severe punishment especially since it’s so easy for the player to have the fan ejected for whatever reason Reed might want.

      But what the caddy did was assault pure and simple. He’s lucky the punishment was just ejection. Some fans might have filed criminal assault charges against him for the pushing. It is illegal and should be punished. Yes, the fan was obnoxious and the heckling wasn’t deserved, though Reed can be a jerk at times anyway, but one doesn’t have to watch him.

      Agree – Spectators think that they can say anything and act with impunity. Bet he he filled his pants when Reed’s caddy gave him a love tap

    What happened to the dirtbag who yelled at a player from 3 feet away?

Testing Lorem Ipsum

Published

on


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).

Photos from the 2026 PGA Championship

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.
