Justin Thomas apologized Saturday afternoon for uttering a homophobic slur under his breath when he missed a 5-foot par putt on the fourth hole of the Sentry Tournament of Champions. "It's inexcusable," Thomas said. "First off, I just apologize. I'm an adult. I'm a grown man, there's absolutely no reason for me to say anything like that. It's terrible. I'm extremely embarrassed. It's not who I am, it's not the kind of person that I am or anything that I do. Unfortunately, I did it and I have to own up to it and I'm very apologetic." Thomas said he was not aware that it had been picked up and was a topic on social media until after his round. The PGA Tour said in a statement, "As he expressed after his round, we agree that Justin's comment was unacceptable." He is likely to be fined for conduct unbecoming a professional, though the PGA Tour does not disclose conduct punishment.
