Max Homa is one of the most chilled-out players on the PGA Tour. He is known for his witty persona and sarcastic nature both on and off the course. Next week, he will be playing at the most important team event in golf to exist – the Ryder Cup. And while other players are busy practicing or getting a mullet to get ready, Homa is continuing to be his funny self.

And it looks like days before the important event, he has taken a subtle dig at one of his Ryder Cup teammates. With his latest tweet, Homa is taking a dig at those right-hand players who pump their fists by the left hand, and fans have a certain player in mind about this.

Home is very popular with fans and the press for maintaining a humorous presence. Not only does he lighten the mood of journalists during pressers, but he also amuses his fans by posting funny tweets from time to time. He has treated his fans with hilarious comments on multiple occasions. 

However, this time some, fans think that Homa is taking a jibe at his Ryder Cup comrade Jordan Spieth. Homa tweeted today, “Left-handed fist pumps by right-handed golfers are my ick, as the kids (and my wife) say”.

And since Spieth is in the habit of doing this despite being a right-handed player, fans think that Homa might be aiming at him. While the three-time major championship winner plays golf right-handed, he throws left-handed. 

However, there is no animosity between the players. A few days ago Spieth and his wife Annie Spieth welcomed a baby girl named Sophie on 12 September and received felicitations on the internet.
