A rumor that pro golfer Tiger Woods condemned U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris for affecting a “fake Black accent” circulated online in early September 2024, four weeks before Harris and former President Donald Trump were to face off in the presidential election.
Variations of the rumor spread on X, and some readers seemed to interpret it as a factual recounting of real-life events. Rapper Uncle Luke even recorded a video criticizing Woods for his purported dig at Harris.
However, there was no evidence Woods ever made such a statement. Rather, the rumor about Woods calling Harris’ accent “offensive” originated with the American Liberty page — a Facebook account with an “Introduction” describing it as “A subsidiary of the [America’s Last Line of Defense] ALLOD network of trollery. Nothing on this page is real.”
