Controversies
In a 2019 article by NBC Sports, Luke Kwon was criticized for his past issues at the University of Oklahoma.[6] Kwon was apparently almost kicked off the team by head golf coach, Ryan Hybl, due to his maturity issues, but was instead given an ultimatum. He was barred from practice for two weeks and given the sole responsibility to wake up at 6 a.m. during those two weeks and meet with the weight-training staff. Fortunately, he met his requirements and stayed on the team.
Kwon participated in the inaugural Internet Invitational in August 2025, which was a Youtube golf event put on by Barstool Sports and Bob Does Sports. Kwon became embroiled in controversy when the series first aired in October 2025 due to Kwon missing his tee time and being penalized by having to sit out the first four holes of his match.[7]
