“I’m praying for you” stfu he said f*got bc he missed a hole. It’s sad to see people supporting him saying it. I understand it was unintentional but I’m tired of Christians supporting this behavior https://t.co/QqVdLKtg9h

I’m really sick of celebrities getting to say this word and then just apologizing when they get caught. You don’t say a word publicly unless you say it privately also, right? https://t.co/OjvvL9ZcmP

Thomas apologized after realizing that a Golf Channel microphone caught him calling himself “f*ggot.”

“There’s absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that,” he said, per the New York Post. “It’s terrible. I’m extremely embarrassed. It’s not who I am.” He added that he was “very apologetic.”

There’s no place for slurs on a golf course. Period.
