Max Homa reveals he tried to troll LIV Golf rumors on Twitter

NASSAU, Bahamas – Max Homa is one of the best PGA Tour follows on social media. It turns out he’s also one of the most mischievous as evidenced by his attempt to troll all of golf Twitter this year.

Homa was asked Wednesday at the Hero World Challenge if he was offended by the lack of rumors that have linked him to LIV Golf.

“Yeah, yeah, huge insult,” he joked. “No, I guess it would have been cool to be a part of that so I could live the life of, you know, it felt like a reality TV series for a bit.”

Homa went on to explain that, as a joke, he tried to have his name linked to LIV Golf, which has wooed some of the game’s top players away from the PGA Tour with guaranteed contracts and a limited schedule, by tinkering with his Twitter profile.

“Brooks [Koepka] changed his bio and everyone figured out he was going [to LIV]. I was like, oh, I’m going to get in on this and see if people catch on, but didn’t realize that my Twitter bio doesn’t get a ton of traction,” 
Homa laughed. 

“I would have liked to be caught in the rumor mill so I could have run with it for a little while, it would have been good for that [PGA Tour Player Impact Program] thing, but was not lucky enough to be caught up.”
