Former Masters champion Patrick Reed is suing the Golf Channel and one of its analysts, Brandel Chamblee, for defamation.
The suit was filed on Tuesday in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas and seeks €738million in damages.
Reed, who is among the players who have joined the Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series, alleges that Chamblee and the network 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”.
