On late Tuesday, Patrick Reed filed a defamation case against Golf Channel and analyst Brandel Chamblee, alleging that they “have conspired as joint tortfeasors for and with the PGA Tour, its executives and its Commissioner Jay Monahan, to engage in a pattern and practice of defaming Mr Reed. misreporting information with falsity and/or reckless disregard for the truth.”

The lawsuit, filed by attorney Larry Klayman, is looking for more than $750 million in damages.

Amongst the court documents, it is claimed that “Chamblee and Golf Channel have indeed engaged in a longstanding pattern and practice of maliciously defaming Mr. Reed.”

The document cites examples where Chamblee has accused the former Masters champ of cheating at the 2019 Hero and quotes from the analyst suggesting that Reed has engaged in “improper and misconduct” in his past college days, to which both examples Reed’s camp call “false and malicious.”

The lawsuit claims that the defendants, acting in concert with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour and their commissioners, have created a hostile work environment for Reed and that the abuse has harmed his performance at tournaments.

Per the document, the personal attacks at events include but are not limited to:

“You suck!”, “You f____ng suck!”, “You jackass!”, “You coward!”, “Shovel!”, “Why don’t you dig a grave and bury yourself in it!”, “You piece of sh_t!”, “No one likes you!”, “Everyone hates you Reed”, “Good look digging yourself out of this one!”, “Where are your parents coward!”, “You cheater!”, “Cheat!”, “Everyone hates you cheater!”, “You’re going to miss this you cheater!”, “You cheat in college and on Tour and you’re a piece of sh_t!”, “Beat the cheaters ass!”, “Sorry Webb for having to play with the cheat! Who did you pi_s off!?”, “Why don’t you introduce your children to their grandparents you ungrateful bit_h!”

The suit accuses Chamblee of not heading a cease and desist letter sent previously. It’s also claimed that due to Chamblee and Golf Channel’s “bizarre fixation” with destroying Reed’s character by fabricating the “story that he is somehow a ‘cheater'”, the family have been victims of abuse, with even their kids being “tormented and bullied.”

The court documents also get personal, with Chamblee called a “disciple of the ‘Skip Bayless’ school of sports analysis”, where “it is more important to be loud than it is to be correct.”

The lawsuit claims that Chamblee has fabricated “a feud with an athlete at the top of their game”, first with Tiger Woods and then Patrick Reed, “in order to leach attention, notoriety, and fame from those who were able to achieve far more than he ever did as a golfer, which is probably the driving force behind his bitter personal animus and bias leveled against Mr. Reed.”

It’s another dramatic twist in the LIV-PGA Tour saga. Last week a federal judge denied LIV Golf players Talor Gooch, Hudson Swafford and Matt Jones a ‘temporary restraining order’ to play the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Following that result, Chamblee tweeted “Golf won today. Murderers lost.”, a comment which Reed’s lawsuit claims “viciously defamed” Patrick Reed as a ‘murderer’ simply because he now plays on the LIV Golf Tour.”

Next fall will likely see the larger antitrust lawsuit filed by 10 LIV players against the Tour.
