Just over a month after Patrick Reed’s attorneys refiled a $750 million defamation lawsuit — adding Golf Channel’s Damon Hack, Shane Bacon, as well as Golfweek, columnist Eamon Lynch and its parent company, Gannett — a new $250 million suit has been filed against a number of other prominent golf media members and organizations.
According to a release from Reed’s attorney, Larry Klayman, the new suit includes author Shane Ryan, Hachette, the New York Post and Fox Sports, as well as Associated Press golf writer Doug Ferguson and the organization for whom he works. Golfweek confirmed with the Middle District Court of Florida’s Jacksonville Division that the suit was filed this week.
