By who? Even Wal-Mart won't want him. Do you think Nike and Foot Joy are banging on his door? Do you think Hogan is wants a guy who said that? It's about image as much as about golf.

But even Tiger never said anything racist or homophobic or bigoted.


You don’t know much about golf if you don’t think JT will get scooped up in an instant with a big contract.

I really think being his sponsor was the most relevant thing about polo these days

Best thing that can happen for his reputation is not wearing the large horse polo

Do these people really think that Justin Thomas has a problem with gays ?

no, probably not, but still, considering RL is in the fashion industry, which has a pretty significant LGBTQ presence, I can see how they want to distance themselves from a spokesperson/sponsoree for using something that would be offensive to that large constituency... i mean, c'mon man... it's just not a good look for a fashion icon label, such as RL to have a sponsoree being caught on tape using an anti-gay slur... at the end of the day, it's a business decision, and I can understand it, even if I do think it's s little heavy handed and premature...

Wrong. He will have sponsors lining up for his shirt choice

JT has already amassed a net worth of $30 million at age 27. He’s probably not sweating the loss of free clothes.

His current club/ball/hat/shoe deal is with Titleist/Foot-Joy. Notice they haven't said boo about it.

So Justin Thomas gets out of a contract he more than likely outplayed and gets a bigger one while also getting to wear actual decent fitting clothes?

Yeah, he's happy to ditch the gays at RL.

Maybe polo is looking to dump that line. That can’t be a very big seller for them. I don’t think Tom Watson can really carry the brand. Maybe they just wanted to dump that JT money and saw their chance.

Did he leave it short? If so then he’s actually gay and that’s not a “slur”
