Yeah I do think sponsors are going to drop him. His ability to sell is based entirely off his good guy reputation....which is now gone. Not like he's an elite player, he's a good player but that's it. Appearance fees will also stop since people won't care about seeing him anymore. This isn't Tiger, who is a known hot head, or Phil, who is a known degenerate gambler. People accept that with them, because they are historically great players. Literally Matt Kuchar's entire schtick is he's one of the good guys unlike say Patrick Reed (who I suspect who have tipped). With that rep gone, what can he sell? This ordeal will end up costing him more money than had he chipped off a reasonable bonus, no doubt about it.
I suppose though it was always obvious he was a cheapskate. He does endorse Sketchers Golf shoes after all.
