Patrick Reed trolled with STAR WARS references in court documents

Attorneys representing the publication being sued by Patrick Reed have drafted their response to his defamation claims using Star Wars references. 

Reed is suing multiple members of the golf media. 

The lawsuit was originally filed last August in Texas, only to be refiled in Florida. 

He is suing prominent LIV Golf critic Brandel Chamblee, Golf Channel broadcasters Shane Bacon, Damon Hack and Eamon Lynch, as well as their media companies Golfweek and Gannett. 

Reed, 32, is seeking $820m in damages. 

In November, federal judge Timothy Corrigan dismissed the case. 

Reed's attorney, Larry Klayman, then refiled an amended complaint, this time seeking more money in damages. 

There is also a separate $250m defamation lawsuit that was filed last November against Shane Ryan, Hachette, the New York Post, Fox Sports, Doug Ferguson and the Associated Press.

Why is Patrick Reed suing? 

Reed's lawsuit alleges the defendants: 

The complaint says it is "well-known" that Reed has been the subject of abuse by spectators. 

Furthermore, it adds the PGA Tour worked with Golf Channel to purposefully destroy LIV Golf. 

Reed resigned his PGA Tour membership and joined the breakaway tour last June. 

He said he was "constructively terminated" as a member.

Reed suggests that he has suffered major damages through the loss of multi-million dollar sponsorship deals that were not or have not been renewed. 

Those included but were not limited to Titleist, Nike, Ultimate Software, cbdMD, Callaway, Tax Slayer, Perry Ellis and NetJets.
