Max Homa calls out his own hypocrisy after viral club-throwing incident at Harbour Town
Homa took to Instagram to apologize after a club-throwing incident at the RBC Heritage clanged with his comments earlier in the week.
Last Wednesday, Max Homa spoke in front of a room full reporters at the RBC Heritage, where he implicitly called out the likes of Sergio Garcia and others following their outbursts at Augusta National. “I don’t like when people break clubs. I don't like when people beat up the golf course because we deal with it,” Homa said .
“I think breaking clubs makes us look very, very spoiled. ” At the time, Homa’s words rang true enough, but time makes hypocrites of us all, and on Sunday at Harbour Town the six-time tour winner was seen violently whipping his club into one the course’s “native areas” following a poor shot.

Max Homa / IG “I mentioned in this interview that we as pros should be held to a high standard and we should be kept accountable,” Homa wrote on his Instagram story accompanying a video of his press conference quotes and subsequent club throw. “I’m thankful so many people have held me accountable on this. Bad look.
Not proud. Looking forward to bettering myself. ” In the end, Homa’s apology isn’t exactly surprising or, on its own, praise-worthy.
