Losing one’s temper in a situation of defeat is a somewhat natural response! Especially in sports, athletes are often found swearing and using cuss words while exasperated from a game. And recently, one particular LIV golfer witnessed this frustration firsthand, and in turn, the entire golf world witnessed his obscene slip-up as it was caught on his mic!

Kevin Na, who has had a history of violent outbursts with his fellow golfers and even his caddie, had another oops moment at the LIV Golf DC when his microphone caught him speaking rather a strong language amid his disappointing performance on the course.
