Former Masters winner Patrick Reed golfing on his channel teeing off. He's one of those color commentators who filed a lawsuit seeking nearly $1 billion in defamation.

Specifically, the 32-year-old lead targets analyst Blundell Chambley. The golfer claims analyst Blundell Chambley "aggressively" targeted him to destroy his reputation, generate hate and create a hostile work environment. Player,reported by the New York Post.

and he said that Chamblee's attack was "calculated" and "malicious" and thatGolf his channel allowed Talking his head. I'm here. The attack "had a direct impact on his livelihood" for the past nine years, Reid claims.

lawsuit added: The golfer signed with LIV.

Filed in Dallas and named, in addition to Golf Channel and Chamblee, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monaghan.

It accused the defendants of conspiring to "engage in patterns and practices of defaming Mr. Reade, falsely misrepresenting information, and/or recklessly ignoring the truth." there is (and) deliberately omitting relevant key facts to mislead the public.

However, Reed is unlikely to win a popularity contest on tour due to the many scandals and controversies that have accompanied his name. I was there.

In 2019, Reed was caught on camera illegally lying in a bunker.

Chamblee quipped: "This is going to follow him, like a video of Nixon saying 'I'm not a crook.'"

Reid hit back with a suspension order, demanding Chambry stop commenting that the golfer had broken the rules.

In 2021, Chambry tore the lead again when given relief for an embedded ball. He picked it up before regulatory authorities could inspect the lie.

Of course, Reed's legitimate eagle sniffs out that Chamblee — a former pro himself — "never rose to Mr. Reed's perfected level."
