Moments after Hank Haney’s questionable comments about the LPGA and its players were posted online, some of the most well-known LPGA tour players were up in arms on social media.
Below are some of the most notable responses to Haney’s comments on his SiriusXM Radio show Wednesday morning:
As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that @HankHaney made disappoint and anger me on so many different levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank....shame on you. I don’t ever do this, but this must be called out. https://t.co/P18JByTosN
