Patrick Reed’s defamation lawsuit against several journalists and media organisations has been thrown out by a judge.
Reed, through his attorney Larry Klayman, sought $750million in damages from journalists including Shane Bacon, Damon Hack, Eamon Lynch and Brandel Chamblee.

Reed also claimed he had missed out on multi-million-dollar sponsorship deals as a result of the alleged “campaign”, and that the defendants were “intentionally and maliciously destroying” grindworksUSA products, since he and his wife own the company.
However, US District Judge Timothy Corrigan has now dismissed the claims.
