Golf fans react to shocking DM that Tour pro received from sports bettor after T10 finish
Sports bettor exposed after sending awful direct message to a Korn Ferry Tour pro over the weekend.
A sports bettor's shocking direct message sent to a Korn Ferry Tour pro has been revealed on social media by GOLF's Claire Rogers, and it has rightly angered golf social media.
The rogue DM was sent by a golf bettor following the conclusion of the Tulum Championship at PGA Riviera Maya on the Korn Ferry Tour, the lower tier circuit on the PGA Tour.
Rogers did not specifically reveal the name of the Korn Ferry Tour pro, but she did say the player finished T10.
Given there were only two players that finished in that position, the DM was aimed at either Ryan McCormick or Davis Chatfield.
Rogers stuck up a screengrab of the bettor's DM on her X / Twitter account with the caption: "The messages pro golfers get are insane."
"A DM my friend received after his T10 finish on the Korn Ferry Tour today."
Rogers left up the name of the angry sports bettor - Tom Livesley / @livers112 - in her post.

Golf social media has rightly slammed the sports bettor's shocking message to the Tour pro.
There is no place in the sport - or the world - for a message like this.
It's also a friendly reminder to sports bettors around the world to bet within their limits.
When the fun stops, stop, and all that.
Bryson Nimmer went on to win the Tulum Championship in a playoff over Stuart Macdonald.
