Max Homa throws club at RBC Heritage after calling golfers 'spoiled' for it

Six-time PGA Tour winner Max Homa’s previous criticism of “spoiled” golfers has come back to haunt him this weekend.

During the final round of the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links in Hilton Head, South Carolina, Homa let his frustrations get the best of him when he flung his club several yards after failing to get back on the fairway on the 15th hole.

He bogeyed the hole and finished the tournament tied for 69th.

Homa’s reaction didn’t stand out from other pros, but it was his previous criticisms of golfers beating up the course that triggered a harsh backlash on social media.

Homa, 35, was asked Wednesday about the code of conduct at the Masters and what he thinks dictates a violation following Sergio Garcia’s code-of-conduct warning for beating up a tee box. Homa did not directly mention Garcia’s name but took issue with those types of meltdowns.

“I don’t like when people break clubs. I don’t like when people beat up the golf course, because we deal with it, and I think the breaking clubs makes us look very, very spoiled,” Homa said.

“I try my absolute best not to do it. And when it does happen, as far as slamming a tee box, I’m very upset with myself, because we’re very lucky to play this game where we do, and I think it is a bad look.”

Golf fans on social media were quick to point out the hypocrisy.
