Hank Haney suspended from SiriusXM radio show after insensitive remarks about LPGA

Hank Haney has been suspended from his SiriusXM PGA Tour radio show in the wake of highly controversial remarks he made about women’s golf earlier this week.

The PGA Tour and SiriusXM said in a joint statement released on Twitter Thursday night that Haney’s commentary was “insensitive” but did not rule out the possibility of Haney returning to the SiriusXM airwaves.

Here is the full statement:

A comment from Haney was also included: “I accept my suspension and apologize again.”

Haney made headlines on Wednesday for making disparaging comments about LPGA players on his weekday morning SiriusXM radio show.

When Haney’s cohost asked him about this week’s U.S. Women’s Open, Haney said, “I’m gonna predict a Korean. That’s gonna be my prediction. I couldn’t name you, like, six players on the LPGA Tour. Nah, maybe I could. Well, I’d go with Lee. If I didn’t have to name a first name, I’d get a bunch of them right.”

Haney’s comments were quickly censured on social media, and he later apologized.

SiriusXM and the PGA Tour did not offer any comment until the statement regarding Haney’s suspension was released on Thursday evening.
