You’re likely to have heard of the tee Patrick Reed gave Rory McIlroy on the range before this week’s DP World Tour event.
This bit of social media humor was missing. According to reports, Reed wasn’t happy that McIlroy wouldn’t acknowledge him Tuesday at Hero Dubai Desert Classic. According to the Independent Reed then “disgustingly” threw at McIlroy’s tee.
“I didn’t see it. McIlroy told reporters Wednesday that he was at my bag when he approached me. “So, I didn’t see any tee coming in my direction at all. But apparently that’s what happened.” If the roles were reversed, and I would have thrown that tee at his face, I would expect a lawsuit.”
The interaction was captured on video and Reed laughs as he walks away.

McIlroy claims that Reed’s lawyer subpoenaed him last month. He laughed at the notion of ever repairing relations with Reed.
His lawyer subpoenaed me on Christmas Eve. McIlroy stated that he was trying to enjoy Christmas with his family, and that someone showed up at your door and delivered that. “I’m not living in reality. I don’t know where his family is living. If I was in his shoes, I wouldn’t expect a hello and a handshake.
The world number one After a strong 2022 season, which saw him win the FedEx Cup of the PGA Tour and the Race to Dubai season-long titles of DP World Tour, No. 1 will make his 2023 debut in Dubai.
