During ESPN’s coverage of the 2025 PGA Championship, golfer Tyrrell Hatton expressed frustration after a poor tee shot.
Golf can elicit plenty of emotions, and ESPN’s audience learned that live on the air during Thursday’s broadcast of the first round of the PGA Championship.
Hatton, who shot a solid 3-under 68 and trails leader Jhonattan Vegas by four shots, was hitting off the tee on the 17th hole at Quail Hollow Club when things went bad for him.
The shot landed further away from the pin than he would have liked, and to express his frustration, he was caught dropping an F-bomb before the network could bring down the mic placed on the course.
“Worst f–king…” Tyrrell Hatton could be heard saying as he walked away from the tee.
It was frustrating for him, but extremely stressful for Scott Van Pelt. He had no clue how to respond to it, so the ESPN broadcast moved over to the action on the 18th hole.
The “SportsCenter” anchor certainly caught the F-bomb and was made clear when he said, “Well… to 18,” before going quiet again.
