Patrick Reed’s $750 million defamation lawsuit against the Golf Channel is growing. Reed pulled the original suit and filed a new one of the same amount naming more Golf Channel employees in the suit.
Reed initially filed his suit last month, alleging that Chamblee and the Golf Channel were conspiring with the PGA Tour and its commissioner to “engage in a pattern and practice of defaming” him since he was 23 years old. Reed, now 32, claims he lost “multi-million dollar sponsorship deals” as a result, and that he was “terminated” from the PGA Tour. Reed, however, resigned from the Tour when he left for the LIV Golf Invitational Series. Chamblee and many other people have been critical of Reed in the past, both because of his many rule violations or near-rule violations he has been accused of since his time playing collegiately in Georgia.
