The 2018 Masters champion and US Ryder Cup golfer Patrick Reed has filed a $750m defamation lawsuit against American television network The Golf Channel and its commentator Brandel Chamblee.
The lawsuit states that Chamblee and the Golf Channel have been “actively targeting Reed since he was 23 years old, to destroy his reputation, create hate and a hostile work environment for him, and with the intention to discredit his name and accomplishments as a young, elite, world-class golfer”.
Reed also accuses Chamblee of “misreporting information” with “reckless disregard of the truth” and that has cost him several multi-million-dollar sponsorship deals.
Chamblee and The Golf Channel have yet to respond to Reed’s accusations.
