Michael Daniel Reid (born July 1, 1954) is an American professional golfer.
Reid was born in Bainbridge, Maryland. He graduated from Brigham Young University in 1976 and turned professional the same year. During his collegiate golf career, Reid was selected for All-American honors from 1973-1976. He is close friends with PGA Tour player Pat McGowan, who also played for BYU.
Reid won his first PGA Tour title at the 1987 Seiko Tucson Open and the following year he won the prestigious NEC World Series of Golf. In 1989, he led the Masters Tournament with four holes to play but failed to win the tournament; he also lost the lead in that year's PGA Championship on the back nine during the final round.
Reid became eligible to play the Champions Tour in 2004, and in 2005 he claimed his first senior title at the Senior PGA Championship, which is one of the senior majors.
Reid is nicknamed "Radar" for his outstanding driving accuracy. He is a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He has six children and one grandchild.[1]
