Patrick Reed’s law firm, Klayman’s Law Group, has threatened CNN with a $450m defamation lawsuit if it doesn’t issue a public apology to the 2018 Masters champion and LIV Golf player.

The lawsuit is issued to CNN’s Jake Tapper and Bob Costas who are alleged to have made defamatory comments towards Reed in a broadcast.

Klayman, on behalf of Reed, has demanded an on air public apology from CNN and for the broadcast to be removed and retracted from CNN’s websites, streaming services and other forms of publication “in order to mitigate the damage which they have caused.”
