NASSAU BAHAMAS – Max Homa felt guilt when he decided to leave his wife and son Cam for the Hero World Challenge at Albany Club.
He said, “I didn’t think it would be this difficult.” “I feel guilty for being in the beautiful Bahamas while my wife is busy changing diapers. But, here I am and it’s okay.
Homa has moved up to No. Homa, who has risen to No. 16 in the Official World Golf Ranking, won the Fortinet Championship and will be starting the 2022-23 PGA Tour season. He took the time to reflect on the past year during the pre-tournament conference and compared the LIV PGA Tour drama to high school.
“Every week was funny or kind of fun. It became tedious, but Monday was Tuesday. Is it true? This is what you heard about the tournament. Is that true? It was like being in high school again. You just went to lunch, got a text from math, and now you have to figure out which part of the story was true. Rarely was any of this true. This was exactly what this season was for us. It’s like listening to the little sounds.
Homa was among the “fortunate” who didn’t get caught up in the rumor mill. They now have to answer a constant stream of questions about whether they will be the next player to jump at LIV.
“You know, there are stories of certain guys saying things like, “Oh, I heard he’s gone.” Then I talk to them and they’ll tell me, “I haven’t spoken to them in months”, so this is all a hoax. They are doing a difficult job, and I feel sorry for them.
It’s tricky to see Rory doing what he does and how well he plays. My part was purely for the enjoyment of it. It was fun to hear a rumor, laugh about it, and then move on.
Homa, however, said that he tried to get into the conversation “just to have fun” and railed that it was “a huge insult” that his efforts went unnoticed.
He said, “It would have been cool to participate in that so I could experience the life of, well, a reality television series for a while.” I guess I tried. Brooks changed his Twitter bio once and I changed my profile on Twitter. Everyone figured it out. I was thinking, “Oh, I’m going in on this and let’s see if people catch it,” but I didn’t realize my Twitter bio doesn’t get much traction so that was new to me.
“The crazyness of it all made me feel a lot more outside than inside. As I said, inside, I thought it was hilarious and fun. We were trying to make fun of it. People can live their lives as they wish. It was fun for me, but I don’t know. It was fun for me. Although it was taken as a slight to the LIV Tour I didn’t mean it. I simply enjoy making fun of all that I do. It was quite funny. It would have been nice to have been caught up in the rumor mill, so I could have had a bit of fun with it, which would have been great for the PIP thing. But I was not fortunate enough to get caught up.
Homa was able to earn an additional $3million for finishing the 14 th standing, but was not happy to be a spot behind Kevin Kisner, his partner at the 2021 QBE Shootout.
Although this is not what we expected, I have to say congratulations to all of the participants for their great fight. We will go back to the drawing boards and find new ways to make an impact on the #golf community. It’s a #1 or bust mentality (besides Tiger, I can’t beat that guy) https://t.co/VxdqcqvQA1

“I don’t know how this happened.” He said that he played better than him and carried him at QBE last year. “That was disappointing.” “Just went back to the drawing board and came up with more ways to improve the golfing game. It’s amazing that I’m now 16 and was only 14 when I joined the PIP. It was always my belief that I was more popular than I am at golf. So it’s nice to see that things are aligning. But at the end, I’ll take 14th.
Homa said that although it is confusing, it seems to work. “Tiger won again so long as he is winning, it’s still not broken, so that’s okay.”
