Nine-time PGA Tour winner Patrick Reed has filed a $750 million defamation lawsuit against Golf Channel and longtime commentator Brandel Chamblee, claiming that both parties "conspired" with the PGA Tour and commissioner Jay Monahan to defame him "since he was 23 years old," according to multiple reports. 

The lawsuit filed in federal court Tuesday alleges that Chamblee and Golf Channel have been "misreporting information with falsity and/or reckless disregard of the truth" in an attempt "​​to destroy his reputation, create hate, and a hostile work environment for him, and with the intention to discredit his name and accomplishments," the lawsuit read, via Golf Magazine.

Despite alleging nearly a decade’s worth of damage, much of the complaint is focused on Reed’s departure from the PGA Tour for the rival Saudi-backed LIV Golf circuit and Chamblee’s public criticism of that decision.

"When I hear these players say that they are 'growing the game'... it makes me want to puke. They're destroying the game. And they are destroying their reputations," Chamblee was quoted as saying in the lawsuit, via CBS Sports.
