A federal judge in Florida has dismissed golfer Patrick Reed's $750 million defamation lawsuits against the Golf Channel, various commentators, and media outlets. The judge ruled that Reed's complaints did not provide sufficient evidence of actual malice, and many of the statements in question were not specifically about Reed or were matters of opinion.
