ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Four-time PGA Tour winner Scott Piercy lost two endorsement deals Thursday for sharing a homophobic meme poking fun at Democratic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg and referencing far-right conspiracy theory QAnon.
Piercy this week shared a meme on Instagram on the news Buttigieg has suspended his campaign that included a reference to his sexuality as a gay man.
He doesn’t have a large following on Instagram -- just under 17,000 followers -- but posted an apology Tuesday “if any of my recent story posts have been offensive. I will do better!”
That wasn’t enough for Titleist, which confirmed it terminated his contract on Tuesday.
