Teryn Gregson, who has worked for the PGA Tour as a host and reporter, announced Monday that she has been fired by the organization for refusing to get vaccinated for COVID. An attempt to obtain a religious exemption from the organization failed and company officials notified the pregnant mother Friday that she had been officially fired.
“On Friday, I was fired by the PGA Tour. I was in need of religious exemptions from their vaccine protocols of masking and testing,” Gregson explained on a social media video explaining her firing. “They would not accommodate me in such a way that I did not have to violate my religious beliefs.”
While Gregson isn’t fully clear on whether the PGA Tour fired her for not getting vaccinated, according to internal communications to workers, new rules were instituted November 1 for unvaccinated workers who returned to the PGA’s office.
“Welcome back, TOUR employees! After 20 months of working from home, we are all very excited to be back together. Please take a minute to review our updated policies found in the User Guide,” the intranet site states.
Unvaccinated workers are required to wear masks “at all times” inside the PGA Tour offices and “all unvaccinated employees will undergo weekly COVID-19 screening tests.”
“And that’s a wrap! The 2020-21 PGA TOUR Super Season will be remembered by many as the year golf was among the first come back from the covid hiatus, leading the way for professional sports to return,” Gregson wrote on Instagram in September.
“But I will always remember it as the year we had our daughter. I will also remember it as the year God called me to be vocal about my faith.
“I’ve always known God as far back as I can remember but the ways He’s worked in my faith journey this year have been incredible and have produced so much fruit.”
She needs to sue them. Since the jab doesn’t prevent you from getting it, spreading it, getting hospitalized or dying from it. So why the discrimination? And especially someone who is pregnant.
These people (always nameless of course – “The PGA Tour”) need to all be punched in the face daily (like legit hard punched) until they realize they are the bad guys.
PGA players are usually pretty conservative. They should band together and find some way to address this with the PGA. If we don’t stick up for ourselves, no one else will.
You’d think so, but I’m finding covid has exposed countess people as fair weather conservatives who were just along for the tax breaks. When it boils down to REAL issues they disappear and have amnesia about their beliefs. I wouldn’t count on them sadly.
Just another reason to add why I don’t watch golf unless I want a nap puts me right out PGA sucks
Jim Nantz voice on Master’s Sunday is like popping three full bottles of sleeping pills for me! Love it!
PGA is an organization for people who have no real connection to real life. It is NOT a group that intends on keeping peoples rights intact, similar to the NRA. It is a group who organize and incredible transfer of wealth from companies and consumers to the top players in the world.
and in 8 months they will require the booster shot—its not gonna stop folks.
Straight to court. Take them down.
