That incident took place exactly two years ago, and its recent memory had the golf world running wild. Golf Digest took to Twitter and posted about the incident, and the golf community didn’t take kindly to it. Why? Well, because the photo included the infamous LIV Golf defector, Patrick Reed. The fans lashed out, questioning why Reed was in the photo.
