The Players Championship is one of the top tournaments on the PGA Tour. The unforgiving TPC Sawgrass layout presents plenty of exciting moments every year, and the 2021 edition is headed towards an exciting finish as well. On the contrary, Max Homa is unhappy that the tournament killed his hopes of matching a Tiger Woods record!
Max Homa has been playing some fantastic golf lately. The 30-year-old attained new heights in his career by winning the 2021 Genesis Invitational via a playoff round. But the sport is largely unpredictable.
Just two weeks after winning his second PGA Tour event, Homa found himself cut from the 2021 Players Championship after 36 holes.

Max Homa dejected that he can’t chase a Tiger Woods record anymore
Max Homa has been playing on the PGA Tour since 2013 and has struggled to maintain consistency. However, he’s been a great competitor to watch at tournaments and has 11 Top 10 finishes to his name.
Speaking about consistency, Tiger Woods achieved a mammoth feat during the peak of his career from 1998-2005. A lot of fans would also accept that Woods played some of his best golf during that span.
What’s unbelievable is that Woods made 142 consecutive cuts from 1998-2005. It is mind-boggling that he made the cut of every tournament he played for seven straight years! This is a record number as well, with Byron Nelson, and Jack Nicklaus coming in behind at second and third respectively.
Homa was apparently chasing this record of Tiger’s. He wanted to make 143 consecutive cuts and rewrite history, but everything came down crashing at the 2021 Players Championship. The American then took to Twitter to express his disappointment in a comical way.

Moreover, it is not as though Max Homa was incredibly close to matching Tiger Woods’ feat. Homa’s streak was cut short at eight, after the Players Championship. His streak began at the 2020 Mayakoba Golf Classic and ended at TPC Sawgrass in 2021.
