Morgan Pressel has been patriotic in her golf playing days, but when she was on the mic for the women’s golf coverage at the 2024 Paris Olympics on NBC, she took it to a whole new level.
She was talking about a shot from Brooke Henderson, saying the Canadian golfer is “[expletive] fired up, you love to see it.” You can listen to that clip here, but a WARNING: As you can see, sounds like there’s NSFW language there.
On Saturday, it appears she apologized on the air, per some folks on X (formerly Twitter), saying it sounded inappropriate but she wouldn’t say that:
Morgan Pressel just apologized for yesterday’s slip:
“I stumbled over my words and unfortunately it sounded as if I said something inappropriate. I am so sorry that it came across as such because I would never say that on the air in a broadcast.”
