Shocking moment furious LIV golfers stop $25m tournament to confront heckling fans READ MORE: Padraig Harrington wins US Senior Open despite lost ball disaster By JAKE FENNER Published: 18:32 BST, 30 June 2025 | Updated: 18:34 BST, 30 June 2025 One of the slogans for the Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit is 'Golf, But Louder'. Apparently, one golfer participating in the rebel tour thought things got a bit too loud. Over the weekend, the handsomely paid golfers took their tour to Texas to participate in the LIV Golf Dallas event at the Maridoe Golf Club in nearby Carrollton. The event was sparsely attended, a common sight for the tour, however one fan's outburst was loud enough to attract attention. In round one, the 4Aces GC team was subject to some jeering at the 16th hole at the course. Teammates Patrick Reed and Thomas Pieters were paired together, only for the fan to target Reed with some taunts. It's not clear what was said, but a video did capture the moment that Pieters confronted the fan. During the first round of LIV, outside of the marquee groupings, teams are paired together. On the 16th hole a fan was jeering Patrick Reed. 4Aces teammate Thomas Pieters went outside the ropes to confront the fan while Reed calmly made his par putt before staring the fan down pic.twitter.com/ZH8D0uF6zO — Brock 💣 (@Golfingbrock) June 29, 2025 LIV Golfer Thomas Pieters confronted a fan who was heckling his teammate, Patrick Reed Reed sank his par putt despite the heckling, then said something to either Pieters or the fan Reed's luck continued throughout the weekend as he won the tournament in Dallas The Belgian walked off the green and pointed at the fan with his putter before ducking the ropes and heading straight for the covered suite-like seats. It's unclear what Pieters said to the fan, but the interaction only lasted for a few seconds before he got back to business. Reed, to his credit, didn't let the jeering or his teammate's defense of him get in the way of doing his job. The former Masters champion drained a lengthy par putt before turning around on the green and staring down the heckler and seemingly saying something - either to the fan or to Pieters. Reed truly had the last laugh - overcoming a third (and final) round 75 and a four-way playoff to win the tournament which carried a purse of $25million. It's the best result of the season for Reed, who previously had two top-10s at LIV Golf Miami and LIV Golf Korea. In majors, Reed's performances have been like a rollercoaster. After finishing third at Augusta National, he missed the cut at the PGA Championship and then ended up tied for 23rd at 8-over during the US Open at Oakmont.
