However, his brutal cheating allegations left a mark on his career. The American golfer was accused of cheating in tournaments several times. Reed was dismissed from his collegiate team at the University of Georgia after being accused of cheating. Shane Ryan's Slaying the Tiger: A Year Inside Ropes, published by the PGA Tour, made the allegation. Patrick Reed, on the other hand, rejected the charge, claiming he was fired for violating an alcohol-related guideline. Jason Payne, the assistant golf coach at Georgia, talked about the incident and said:“While getting to know Patrick through the recruiting process as a coach, a few character issues came to light, that we as coaches thought we could help Patrick with. &quot;“There is no doubting the ability of Patrick as a golfer, it was Patrick as a person that we chose not to associate with. The story that has been reported by Shane Ryan is an accurate account of his college career at UGA—including the suspicions held by his former teammates.”Patrick Reed won the Masters in 2018 and later that year was penalized with two strokes for moving sand at the bunker at the Hero World Challenge. Speaking about the incident, Reed said:“I didn’t feel it drag, but then when they brought it up to me it definitely did drag some of the sand and because of that it’s considered a two-stroke penalty. I think with a different camera angle they would have realised that if it was from the side you would have seen that with the backswing it was not improving the lie because it was far enough away from the golf ball.&quot;
