In the months ahead, a judge will determine the merit of Patrick Reed’s $750 million extraordinary defamation lawsuit against Golf Channel and analyst Brandel Chamblee. Reed believes the PGA Tour and American media conspired to turn him into a villain, falsifying his past actions and building a narrative that has hurt the golfer and his family. While proving such in a courtroom may be difficult, Reed used the interview to attempt to clear the air and restore his reputation. “The narrative is ‘he’s a horrendous person, he’s a cheater, a liar and a thief’,” Reed said to the Times. It went overboard, going on and on and on.”The Bahamas incident Reed referred to occurred during the 2019 Hero World Challenge.
