What did Patrick Reed sue for? What is Patrick Reed suing Rory McIlroy?

American professional golfer, Patrick Reed has reportedly launched a defamation case against the Golf Channel and its analyst Brandel Chamblee. According to Reed, Chamblee has conspired with the PGA Tour’s commissioner, Jay Monahan to defame him.

His lawyer also sent Irish golfer, Rory McIlroy a subpoena on Christmas Eve. McIlory blatantly ignored Reed when they met in Dubai.

“I didn’t see it. Patrick came up to say hello and I didn’t really want him to. That was it. I didn’t see a tee. I didn’t feel a tee. Obviously, someone else saw that. I can’t believe it’s actually into a story. It’s nothing. I was down by my bad, and he came up to me, I was busy working and sort of doing my practice. I didn’t really feel like… I didn’t feel the need to acknowledge him. And if roles were reversed and I’d thrown that tee at him, I’d be expecting a lawsuit. So no, I didn’t see it. My back was turned to him,” McIlory said.
