Justin Thomas Got Caught on Hot Mic Using Gay Slur After Missing Putt

When you’re a professional athlete, someone is always listening. PGA golfer Justin Thomas is in hot water for a homophobic slur he said in anger after missing a putt in in the Sentry Tournament of Champions in Hawaii. The former No. 1 said he was distracted in the final round by the “terrible, terrible mistake” he made in Saturday’s third round.

Thomas missed a short putt on the fourth hole and can be heard on the audio feed.

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.
