Justin Thomas dropped an angry F-bomb after missing a putt at the PGA Championship, and his actions very much divided golf fans on social media.
Expletives appear to be heard on mics more and more since golf’s return from the lockdown, especially with no crowds on hand.
Some fans loved seeing Thomas swearing at his golf ball because it was relatable to their own frustrations on the greens, while others were furious due to their kids picking up the expletive while tuning into the live golf coverage.
Thomas missed a birdie putt on the par-4 5th hole and he could not believe his ball moved the other way to what he expected.
Here’s a look at what a number of golf fans made of it.
Some were very much in favor and could relate to his reaction.
“Absolutely terrific F Bomb from Justin Thomas there.”
“What’s the funniest thing from the sports weekend? Justin Thomas dropping the F bomb and SVP just went business as usual.”
“The Justin Thomas f bomb on live ESPN was great.”
“Justin Thomas is all of us today. Dropping f bombs after missed putts.”
“JT drops the F bomb. Hell yeah!”
“Do you get fined for an F bomb? I do hope not.”
Others weren’t quite so amused.
“Nice F bomb on live TV for my kid to hear loud and clear and repeat! Used to think you were a class act, not anymore. You have to be smarter than that bud. I bet Dad/Coach is really proud of his little Justin.”
“JT dropping f bombs for the kids out there. Not great.”
“You just went down a few pegs with your f bomb there.”

To person who is so upset that JT used f F-bomb when you are competing things get heated and words are said. If you think your little boy’s ears have never heard that before than you have him living in a hole or closet. And if one F-bomb offends you maybe you should take up a girlie sport.
Give JT a break, my son is 11 and a golfer. If he saw this he would have learned nothing he doesn’t already know. Sorry folks any serious golfer knows the F word and thank god, otherwise we constantly would be punching ourselves in the snoz. In fact I encourage him to use it albeit quietly to release frustration in order to put total focus on the next stroke. Finally, my son has never said that word in front of a teacher, the reverend or his grandparents which is our rule, there’s a time and place for everything. Sunday during a Major Championship in my opinion is the perfect place when a bird burns the edge.
A F-Bomb. Oh the humanity!!! Grow up people.
Big F**king deal. Grow up detractors. Good thing these people don’t live in the White House where people get fired and describe Trump in that expletive.
