LIV Golfer Patrick Reed saw his defamation lawsuit against several golf media members dismissed by a federal judge last week.
Reed originally sued Golf Channel and analyst Brandel Chamblee in August, alleging more than $750 million in damages after Reed claimed “personal attacks” from the network and analyst had “harmed his performance”.
Also included in his lawsuit was PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan. He later added FOX Sports and The New York Post, writer Shane Ryan, and Doug Ferguson of the Associated Press to the list of those he believed had defamed him.
The judge dismissed Reed’s case and claimed it was a “shotgun pleading” that did not support the accusations levied against the media members.
In a world where hundreds of millions of people go hungry each day and don’t have access to clean, safe drinking water, Patrick Reed thinks his reputation and “performance” are worth $750,000,000. Will you tell them, Patrick, or will I?
