LIV Golf star Anthony Kim has landed in hot water after an incendiary homophobic tweet from his account sparked outrage across social media. The tweet, which has since been deleted, ignited immediate backlash from fans, fellow athletes, and LGBTQ+ advocacy groups, calling out Kim for his offensive remarks.
The controversial tweet, though quickly removed, did not go unnoticed, with screenshots circulating widely online. Kim, who has been making headlines since joining the Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour, now faces mounting pressure to address the fallout and issue a formal apology. Fans were stunned by the golfer’s actions, with many demanding accountability for the harmful rhetoric.
“This kind of language has no place in sports or society,” one Twitter user wrote, echoing the sentiments of many who were deeply offended by the tweet. Several LGBTQ+ groups have also weighed in, urging both Kim and LIV Golf to take immediate corrective measures, including sensitivity training and public apologies.
As the outrage grows, all eyes are on both Kim and LIV Golf to see how they will respond to the controversy. While no official statement has been made from the golfer or the organization as of yet, the pressure continues to mount for swift action to rectify the situation. This scandal raises serious questions about the behavior of athletes on social media and their responsibility as public figures.
