The Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club of Portland will host the second LIV Golf Invitational Series event. The 54-hole event will begin on June 30th and end on July 2nd.
Notably, unlike the first event, the golf club will host a one-day Pro-Am event before the professional tournament. Like the main event, the Pro-Am is also a team event; however, with a small change. Only one professional player will play in one group, with four amateurs.
Is Patrick Reed part of the Pumpkin Ridge golf club field?
LIV Golf announced Reed as one of the newest additions to its league earlier this month. And he is part of the Pumpkin Ridge field. The 31-year-old currently ranks at 39 in the Official World Golf Rankings and is the 2018 Masters Tournament champion.
Along with Patrick Reed, Abraham Ancer, the 2020 U. S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau, and the 4-time major-winning Brooks Koepka are some of the new golfers to play at the Portland event. Notably, the new golfers joined LIV Golf after the PGA Tour commissioner disclosed they will be suspended from all the Tour-related events.

Some players from the inaugural event are not taking part in the second tournament. However, other prominent name like Phil Mickelson, Sergio Garcia, and Dustin Johnson are still part of the Invitational Series.
Golf fans react to Reed’s picture in Portland!
The last time Reed won a professional event was the 2021 Farmers Insurance Open. Hence, undermining his chances, most fans believe he won’t win much now.
He isn't gonna win anything over there either.

Loser Tour.
No coincidence that most of the name players recruited are obnoxious people that people don't like.
