It's unpardonable,
Garments brand Ralph Lauren has finished its sponsorship of world number three Justin Thomas following his utilization of a homophobic slur.
The American apologized for the comment, which was made during the third round of the Guard Visit through Bosses in Hawaii recently.
"It's unpardonable," said the Ryder Cup player, 27, in the wake of offering the remark.
In any case, Ralph Lauren said it was "unsettled" by utilization of "language completely conflicting with our qualities".
The garments organization added: "While we recognize he has apologized and perceives the seriousness of his words, he is a paid diplomat of our image and his activities strife with the comprehensive culture we endeavor to maintain."
It said it trusted Thomas "does the hard and essential work to collaborate with us once more".
TV amplifiers got the player's comment after he missed a five-foot standard putt on the fourth opening.
The PGA Visit is relied upon to fine the previous world number one for his lead.
