It seems that a lot of people find it sketchy that Patrick Reed is estranged from his entire family and has been for years, since 2012. However, his parents, Bill and Jeannette Reed, as well as his younger sister, Hannah, have still been supportive of his career. In 2018, his parents showed GOLF the sports memorabilia they had of him and the room they kept for him in their home. They've also tried to attend some of Reed's tournaments like the 2014 U.S. Open at Pinehurst, where they were escorted out by police. An official with USGA said it was Reed's wife Justine's "wishes" that they be removed.
It wasn't just Justine who didn't want them around, since Reed himself told The New York Times that he wasn't happy that his dad and sister attended the Tour Championship. "I would have called for security to throw them out," he said. Additionally, when asked about not sharing his wins with his family, GOLF reported that he replied very coldly, saying, "I'm just out here to play golf and try to win golf tournaments."
Justine, however, is more direct in her disdain for Reed's family, writing on Facebook (via The Sun), "His parents verbally and physically abused him for most of his life," and that, "They are sick people." Hannah denied those accusations in another social media post though, writing, "This is not a brother anymore, but a selfish, horrible stranger and it's heartbreaking."
