Did Patrick Reed crash his $450,000 Porsche? All you need to know
Patrick Reed gifted himself a Porsche 911 GT2 RS worth roughly $450,000 following the 2018 Masters. However, it was recently discovered suspiciously in Copart. The car was discovered in poor condition, with the front bumper completely wrecked.
The wheels have also been damaged and the back wing has been removed. The car appears to have been in a serious accident and was moved to a car reseller auction. However, no confirmation has been received from the golfer's side that it is his vehicle.
Patrick Reed brought the vehicle to commemorate his Masters victory, and he specifically requested a car with yellow calipers to match the color of his green jacket. The auctioned car's image matches the one Reed posted on his Instagram feed. The VIN number also indicates that the vehicle belongs to the LIV golfer.
It's worth noting that it's an uncommon car, with only 1,000 models available in the United States and only one car in the country that follows The Masters theme.
Joe Pompliano, a sports analyst, tweeted photographs of the car with the caption:
"After winning the 2018 Masters, Patrick Reed bought himself a $450,000 Porsche 911 GT2 RS. There are only 1,000 of these cars in the US & his had a Masters-themed paint job & yellow calipers. But this week, the car mysteriously appeared on a salvage website with just 360 miles."

According to reports, the car was sold for $132,000. The GT2 RS is a highly sought-after machine car with six engines producing 690 horsepower. The vehicle has a top speed of 211 miles per hour.
Patrick Reed appears to be unharmed, but his team is yet to confirm or deny any involvement in the alleged accident. Meanwhile, Reed is scheduled to appear on the next LIV tour.
