Justin Thomas will no longer have Ralph Lauren as a sponsor after a microphone picked up a muttered anti-gay slur from the golfer after he missed a putt at the Sentry Tournament of champions.
The company announced it was discontinuing its partnership with Thomas, currently ranked third in the world, in a statement released Friday:
At the Ralph Lauren Corporation, we believe in the dignity of all people, regardless of age, race, gender identity, ethnicity, political affiliation or sexual orientation. This is part of our longstanding commitment to foster cultures of belonging – in the workplace and in communities around the world.
