Nine-time PGA Tour winner Patrick Reed claims he was subject to an onslaught of criticism while playing on the Tour which led to a "hostile workplace environment," spearheaded by the longtime commentator Brandel Chamblee and the Golf Channel, according to a $750 million defamation lawsuit filed earlier this week. 

The lawsuit, filed in the Southern District of Texas on Tuesday, laid out Reed’s complaint against Chamblee and the Golf Channel in which he accuses both parties of "acting in concert with and as agents on behalf" the PGA Tour, the DP World Tour and their commissioners to defame Reed and with a recent focus on his decision to play on the LIV Golf circuit.

For Defendants it does not matter how badly they destroy someone’s name and life, so long as they rake in more dollars and profit," the lawsuit read.
