There was essentially zero chance of Tiger ever taking their money:
- he doesn't need the money
- his health won't allow him to commit to any kind of playing schedule
- he likely doesn't want to be known historically as "the player to took the most money to leave the PGA for LIV".

OTOH, his ego can probably tolerate being known historically as the player who turned down the most money to leave the PGA.

seems like a prince

Wayne Player, who missed the cut in each of his 18 PGA Tour appearances from 1979-1986, hijacked the first-tee ceremony at the Masters in 2021 by holding up a sleeve of golf balls as a marketing ploy while Augusta National honored the legendary Lee Elder. That also wasn’t Wayne’s first fiasco at Augusta. He was arrested and spent five days in jail on a fraud charge stemming from the week of the 2018 Masters after being charged with deposit account fraud/bad checks greater than $499.

No shocker that POS Patrick Reed would file a defamation lawsuit, the only thing I don't understand is how someone could claim that his reputation was destroyed, you did that all by yourself Patrick.

Patrick Reed is the latest member of LIV Golf to turn from the course to the courts, as the 2018 Masters champion filed a defamation lawsuit against Golf Channel and commentator Brandel Chamblee on Tuesday.

The claim central to Reed's complaint is that Chamblee and Golf Channel conspired with the PGA Tour and commissioner Jay Monahan to defame Reed "since he was 23 years old" -- nine years ago.

Reed's allegations include "misreporting information with falsity and/or reckless disregard of the truth, that is with actual and constitutional malice, purposely omitting pertinent key material facts to mislead the public, and actively targeting [Reed] to destroy his reputation, create hate, and a hostile work environment for him."
