Another LIV golfer is headed back to where it all started.

Patrick Reed announced Wednesday that he will return to the PGA Tour after spending the last four years in the Saudi-backed league.

"I’m a traditionalist at heart, and I was born to play on the PGA TOUR, which is where my story began with my wife, Justine," the 2018 Masters champion wrote in a lengthy post on X.

Reed said the decision came after "careful thought and consideration," and he’ll be eligible to play on the Tour later this year.

"I am very fortunate for the opportunities that have come my way and grateful for the life we have created. I am moving forward in my career, and I look forward to competing on the PGA TOUR and DP World Tour. I can’t wait to get back out there and revisit some of the best places on earth," Reed said.

"Over the last four years, I have learned a lot about myself, about who I am and who I am not, and for that I am forever grateful. To Dustin Johnson, The Aces, and LIV Golf, I want to thank you for the memories we shared and created together. To golf fans around the world, I just want to thank you all for your continued support over the years. I just ask that you respect the decision we have made for our family, our children, and our future. Thank you for your continued support."

Reed is the second golfer this month to return to the PGA Tour after heading to LIV
