LPGA legend gives a nod to a $168.12 billion giant at the Solheim Cup

Dottie Pepper is already a controversial character in Solheim Cup history. She made her own motherland wrathful with her words. In an open mic, which was aired throughout America, she used foul language against the USA Solheim Cup compatriots.

She even dared to call them “chokin’ freakin’ dogs” during a tournament in Sweden in 2007. This mishap happened because Pepper thought the channel was on a commercial break while the scene was completely different. As a result of her actions, she became the most discussed topic that year.

Now, she has again sparked controversy in the golf community with yet another escapade. She posted a tweet that said, “Kudos to @KPMG for making this next hour of@SolheimCup commercial free. Great friend to women’s golf,” referring to the $168.12 billion multi-national company.

Thus, she tried to mean that KPMG granting the last hour of the match free is of great help for the audience away from the course in Spain. As this news circulated in the golf world, in no time the people catered their varied notions as remarks under the post. And unsurprisingly, Pepper had split up the golf world yet again!
