Zach Johnson Drops F-Bomb at the Masters Tournament 2024
After missing the hole completely with his first tee shot, the second try landed just right of the green with a difficult chip. The following long putt for a double bogey missed the hole and resulted in a triple-bogey.
What followed was a reserved applause from the patrons and Zach Johnsons “F*** off!” directed across the pond. This unlikely outburst off course hit social media and promptly sparked a debate wether it was directed at the patrons or himself.

F-Bombing the Patrons? That’s what Zach Johnson said about the Situation
Q. Why don’t you clear the air about the social media thing.
ZACH JOHNSON: I’m not familiar with any social media thing out there. I’ve just signed my scorecard.
Q. There was some comment attributed to you to the patrons after your shots on 12.
ZACH JOHNSON: My first shot that went in the bush?
Q. It was after the putt maybe.
ZACH JOHNSON: After my putt for double bogey? Or after my putt for triple — I guess it really doesn’t matter. I can’t hear anything from — they’re 100 — with the downhill, they’re 152. They’re actually 154 away, so 152 away. I don’t understand the situation at all.
What are they saying that I did or said?
Q. It’s been reported that you swore at some of the patrons.
ZACH JOHNSON: That I swore at the patrons? That’s laughable. That’s completely laughable. I can’t hear the patrons, number one. Number two, I just made a triple bogey on the 12th hole that evidently is going to make me miss the cut, which at the time I knew was pretty sensitive in the sense that I needed to keep making pars.
If I’ve said anything, which I’m not going to deny, especially if it’s on camera, one, I apologize, and two, it was fully directed towards myself entirely because I can’t hear anything behind me. Does that make sense?
