A federal judge in Florida has dismissed golfer Patrick Reed's $750 million defamation lawsuits against the Golf Channel, various commentators, and media outlets.

Reed had accused the defendants of conspiring to destroy the LIV Golf Tour and labeled him as a cheater, liar, thief, murderer, and someone who accepts blood money from terrorists. The judge will decide whether the defendants are entitled to recover attorney's fees and court costs from Reed.
