Patrick Reed wears Masters green jacket as he watches Cleveland Cavaliers beat New York Knicks courtside with Chris Rock

MASTERS champion Patrick Reed wore his green jacket to watch Cleveland Cavaliers beat New York Knicks courtside on Monday evening.

The American golfer, 27, watched LeBron James and Co alongside wife Justine, as well as famous comedians Chris Rock and Aziz Ansari at Madison Square Garden.

Reed clinched the Masters title with a one-shot win at Augusta on Sunday and has since toured New York celebrating.

The Augusta champion - who held off the challenge of Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth - had visited the Empire State Building and Wall Street earlier in the day.

Patrick and Justine looked more than happy on the evening - as he joked with Ansari and Rock, as well as meeting a host of the players.

While watching the Cavs' 123-109 win over the Knicks in the NBA, Reed met star forward Kevin Love, as well as shooting guard JR Smith.

Reed was also seen shaking hands with rapper 2 Chainz at the Garden, as LeBron's Cavaliers clinched the Central Division title.

It was a record-breaking tenth season in a row James had won his division, during two stints at Cleveland and one at Miami Heat.

PANTO VILLAIN Cheat claims, homophobic slurs, family feud... why Masters champ Reed is golf’s most hated star

The Cavs will now prepare for the playoffs with just one regular season game to play - with the Knicks missing out once again.

While he was the hero in New York, Reed is golf's new panto villain, after allegations of cheating, stealing, homophobic slurs, nearly getting kicked out of two universities and alcohol offences.
