This marks the second time that Reed has filed the lawsuit, dating back to August.
On Thursday, Golfer Patrick Reed's attorneys refiled his $750m defamation lawsuit against the Golf Channel and analyst Brandel Chamblee in federal court in Jacksonville, Florida.
The lawsuit reaccuses the Golf Channel, Golfweek, and its parent company, Gannett, as well as employees Chamblee, Damon Hack, Shane Bacon, and Eamon Lynch, of conspiracy, defamation, injurious falsehood and tortious interference.
This lawsuit was originally filed in federal court in Texas on Aug. 16.
The lawsuit alleges the defendants are co-conspirators for their: “anticompetitive conduct and anticompetitive practices in order to destroy the upstart LIV Golf Tour, Mr. Reed, and fellow LIV Golf players in order to annihilate any competition with the PGA Tour and DP World Tour.
“…even if it means violating antitrust laws and going to extreme and scandalous measures to conspire to defame, falsely injure and tortiously interfere with Mr. Reed, fellow LIV Tour players, and LIV Golf.”
A news release alleged the defendants labeled Reed a “cheater, liar, a thief, a murderer and someone who accepts blood money from terrorists.”
In a release, Attorney Larry Klayman said: “The PGA Tour's and its 'partner' the NBC's Golf Channel's mission is to destroy a top LIV Golf Tour player, his family, as well as all of the LIV Golf players, to further their agenda and alleged collaborative efforts to destroy the new LIV Golf Tour.
“As alleged in the complaint, these calculated malicious attacks have created hate, aided and abetted a hostile workplace environment, and have caused substantial financial and emotional damage and harm to Mr. Reed and his family.”
Reed, a PGA Masters Champion in 2018, resigned from the PGA Tour earlier this year.
