He’s a former Masters champion and a LIV Golf convert – but who is Patrick Reed’s wife?

Patrick Reed wrote his name in the history books when he won the Green Jacket in 2018, clinching his first major title at Augusta National.

He was also a multiple winner on the PGA Tour and now plays golf in the Saudi-funded LIV Golf League.

Patrick Reed was closely supported throughout his career by his wife Justine Karain.

Patrick Reed has been with his wife Justine Karain since the couple’s college days and she has followed the highs and lows of his golfing career around the world ever since. The couple reportedly married in 2012.

Explaining how he met Justine, Reed told Golf Digest: “I was a freshman at the University of Georgia and her younger sister, Kris, was at LSU. Kris came to visit and we went on a date and I texted her to confirm that she had gotten home safely. No response.

“So I reached out to Justine on Facebook, who confirmed that her sister was back and was honest with me about why it probably wouldn’t work. So I started talking to Justine, who I found out is an incredibly driven person who was pursuing a double degree while working towards becoming a nurse.

“We kept talking as a few years went by; then we started dating. Best decision of my life.”

Justine became a nurse before taking on the role of Reed’s caddie as he sought to establish himself on the PGA Tour. The couple traveled the country competing in qualifying tournaments during his early days as a professional.

“We were road warriors, driving Justine’s Lexus IS 250 sedan, chasing Monday qualifiers all over the country, just like the old days,” Reed said. “I had extra clubs and clothes. She had a full bag of makeup, a full bag of hair products, 50 pairs of shoes.

“It was pretty hilarious to just tilt the seat down to get some sleep while she was driving at night so I could make a tee time. With her as my caddie, we won six of eight matches on PGA Tour Mondays that year. Her putting her dreams aside to support me is something I’ll never forget. I hope to be half the person she is someday.”

Justine caddied for Reed during his first two seasons on the PGA Tour and the couple won the Wyndham Championship together in 2013.

A year later, Justine became pregnant and was replaced on the bag by her brother Kessler Karain.

Patrick Reed and Justine Karain now have two children together: daughter Windsor-Wells, born in 2014, and son Barrett Benjamin, born in 2017.
