Overview
- Max Homa hurled a club on the par-5 15th at Harbour Town on Sunday after a failed escape from a sandy, tree-lined area, and video of the throw spread quickly on X.
- Homa faced backlash because he had said days earlier that breaking clubs and scarring courses makes pros look “very, very spoiled” when asked about Sergio García’s Masters outburst.
- After his round, Homa posted on Instagram that the clip was a “bad look” and said he was thankful to be held accountable, calling for a higher standard for pros.
- The episode fed a wider conversation about the PGA Tour’s competition code of conduct, which the Masters used to warn García and which can escalate to disqualification for repeat violations.
- Homa shot a 2-under 69 and finished one under for the week in the no-cut, 82-player field, with outlets listing him near 70th on the leaderboard.
