The world of golf is not just about birdies, bogeys, and eagles. It’s also about the personalities and relationships between the players, both on and off the course. Golf is often associated with intense competition and cut-throat rivalries. But a recent exchange between PGA Tour players Talor Gooch and Max Homa shows that camaraderie and mutual respect can also thrive in the sport.

Gooch made headlines after winning the LIV Golf Adelaide event, but it was his response to Homa’s tweet that caught the attention of fans. Recently, a Twitter back-and-forth between two PGA Tour pros, Max Homa and Talor Gooch, gave us a glimpse into the lighter side of the sport.

Homa blocks LIV Golf fan accounts, sparks controversy

Homa had blocked several LIV Golf fan accounts, and one of them had posted a tweet comparing him to Gooch, who was playing in the rival LIV Golf Adelaide event. The tweet read, “Talor Gooch is everything Max Homa wants to be.”

Homa responded to the tweet, praising Gooch and hoping he would win the tournament: “The books I’ve read say I should give back to people in need so here is that attention ur craving. Talor is a great dad and a great golfer. Hope he wins this week by 20. These LIV stan accounts are truly the worst.”

The exchange between the two players may have been brief, but it showed us that even the best golfers can be playful and supportive towards each other. Despite Homa blocking several LIV golf fan accounts, he actually wanted Gooch to win the event, and Gooch did exactly that. He secured his first career victory since joining Greg Norman’s LIV Golf series.
