On Tuesday night, a lawyer working for Patrick Reed, a LIV Golf Series member and former PGA Tour pro, released documents saying the golfer has filed a lawsuit against Brandel Chamblee and Golf Channel for defamation.
He’s seeking $750 million in damages. Yes, $750 million.
According to the documents — which were released via a reporter for Courthouse News Service — Reed claims Chamblee has a history of calling him a cheater and has criticized Reed and other golfers for leaving the PGA Tour for the Greg Norman-led, Saudi-backed LIV Golf Series.
Well, once the news broke, Golf Twitter went into an all-out frenzy.

Patrick Reed is 10 times more unlikable today than he was yesterday which is remarkable because he was the most unlikable golfer in the history of the sport before today’s events

Patrick Reed suing Brandel Chamblee for defamation may not even be in the Top 10 of the wildest things to happen in golf this year.
What a time to be alive.
