Patrick Reed is giving an amazing competition at Augusta National to his fellow golfers, but part of the reason he does it so well is also because of his wife, Justine Karain. Talking about his wife in a 2021 exclusive, Reed said, “For her to put her dreams aside to support me, I’ll never forget that. Someday I hope to be half the person she is.” And while we cover Patrick Reed enough, let’s take a moment to appreciate the woman who has tirelessly worked behind the scenes to help the LIV Golf star.

Not much is known about Justine Karain, as she keeps her private life away from the public eye. However, there are a few things that we know about her. For instance, Justine Reed is 36 years old as of 2025. She was born on December 19, 1986, in Houston, Texas. She is an American and her zodiac sign is Sagittarius.

By the time Patrick Reed turned professional in 2011, Justine Karain had already earned two undergraduate degrees. And before officially helping Patrick Reed with his game as a caddie, she worked as a nurse. But she was just as active as a sportsperson. She swam and she played soccer! According to reports, Justine Karain also played golf in high school. So, how did the two meet?

Well, now that’s one of the most interesting stories you will hear today. In an interview with Golf Digest, Patrick Reed shared that he first connected with Justine while he was a freshman at the University of Georgia. But here’s the catch: he wasn’t initially interested in her. Instead, he had gone on a date with Justine’s younger sister, Kris, who was visiting from LSU. After not hearing back from Kris, Patrick reached out to Justine on Facebook. And that’s how everything started between them.

Patrick and Justine Reed tied the knot in December 2012, and she has supported him through various career milestones, even serving as his full-time caddie in his early career. However, Patrick Reed’s “best decision of my life” didn’t come without any repercussions. Having married at a very early age and against his parents’ wishes, Patrick Reed’s parents cut ties with him. Patrick’s parents, Bill and Jeannette, believed he was too young to marry and expressed their concerns, leading him to cut off all communication with them before his wedding. Since then, there has been no direct contact between Patrick and his family.

But despite the issue, the couple has built an amazing life together, and Patrick Reed shares his love for his family plenty of times!

Justine Karain shares a lovely relationship with Patrick Reed

“That memory, as a father… I just melt. That was the best memory ever at Augusta. Whatever happens on the golf course, nothing will ever top that,” shared Patrick Reed during an interview with Fried Egg Golf ahead of the Masters. The question was about his favorite memory from the day he claimed his Masters win in 2018. Additionally, even if Justine Karain isn’t active on social media, her husband does his part of the job by showing off his family. For instance, in 2017, he celebrated Mother’s Day by making this Instagram post: “My wife, best friend, rock and teammate. Happy Mother’s Day Justine – we all love you very much and appreciate all that you do for us. #mothersday.” 

And his love for his family makes sense, as we saw earlier. Despite the challenges the couple faced, Justine Karain and Patrick Reed built a loving family for themselves.

Remember Justine Karain caddying for her husband? However, it all came to a stop when she became pregnant with their first child. The couple welcomed their first child in 2014 and their second in 2017. Justine and Patrick Reed have a daughter named Windsor-Wells and a son, Barrett Benjamin, who was born in December 2017. Since Justine took on her mothering duties, Patrick’s brother-in-law, Kessler, has served as his caddie.
