Moments after Hank Haney’s questionable comments about the LPGA and its players were posted online, some of the most well-known LPGA tour players were up in arms on social media.
Below are some of the most notable responses to Haney’s comments on his SiriusXM Radio show Wednesday morning:
As a Korean American female golfer, these comments that @HankHaney made disappoint and anger me on so many different levels. Racism and sexism are no laughing matter Hank....shame on you. I don’t ever do this, but this must be called out. https://t.co/P18JByTosN

Too many of these girls, Korean or not, have worked countless hours and sacrificed so much to play in the US Open this week. There are so many amazing players in the field. Let’s celebrate them....Not mock them. @HankHaney https://t.co/YB25Bl9zoC

Well said @themichellewie Wiesy! Shame on you @HankHaney and Steve Johnson. @PGATOUR if you’re truly serious about supporting the @lpga and growing the game these two morons won’t have a voice anymore! https://t.co/2hvZoBE4Tn

Let me get this straight ... you can make racist and sexist comments and then “boycott” the organization and its players who have enlightened you to your ignorance. Way to go @SiriusXMPGATOUR https://t.co/CtRyLqtMxX
