Max Homa Issues Brutal 10-Word Response as Kapalua Conditions Make His Hard Work Go in Vain

Max Homa, the 34-year-old PGA Tour golfer, has had a pretty rough 2024 season. The guy couldn’t snag a single title last year, and you can tell he’s still feeling the sting of it. Especially after watching the crazy low scores at the very first event of the PGA Tour, the Sentry 2025. This season, the players really turned heads by racking up some of the lowest scores ever in a 54-hole format. 

The leading score is a 27 under par. This was set by Hideki Matsuyama, who dropped 65, 65, and 62 in rounds 1, 2, and 3. It’s honestly even lower than some of Homa’s not-so-great performances from last year. Remember when he finished last in the first event of the FedExCup Playoffs at the FedEx St. Jude Championship? He needed a final-round 67 just to finish T33 at the 50-man BMW Championship after struggling with 6 over in the first three rounds. 

If he had been at this year’s Sentry, you bet he would have made a splash. But let’s be real—sometimes it all comes down to luck, and that’s not just us saying it. Homa himself pointed that out. The six-time PGA Tour winner was pretty bummed about how his hard work didn’t translate well with the standout scores at the Sentry. He took it to X saying, “The year is 2025 and 67’s are officially not good!”

One can really feel his frustration behind his well-known dark humor. And we get it. A poor season could be disappointing but when Max Homa said a bad 2025, it might have stuck a cord for many. Why, you may ask. Well, we have already seen some evidence. 

Is 2025 a bad year for the golfing world?

It’s hard to make any solid predictions, but wouldn’t we all prefer not to see it unfold that way? Who wants a golf season as uninspiring as the Sentry in 2025, especially with top players absent from the course? Speaking of the Sentry, it’s been a real disappointment this year.

The numbers were way too low, not just on the leaderboard, but in the viewership as well. Yes, you heard it right. Over the first three rounds, fans were left scratching their heads in disbelief. With some of the best weather Hawaii has ever seen, you’d think the pros would have put on a show for the ticket holders. But it would not be wrong to say – it was a total opposite. This eventually decreased the viewership as well. 

Some also speculate it was because of the absence of the two big cats! Any guesses? We’re missing world number one, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. The latest FedEx Cup and 2X green jacket holder got himself into trouble near this New Year celebrations. He was cooking for the Christmas dinner when a glass broke and the particles were still in his right hand. This ultimately caused him to step back from the opening events of  2025. He is expected to be back later this month at the AmEx.

Moving to Rory McIlroy, He’s once again decided to skip The Sentry. He’s only played in the event back in 2019, so it’s no surprise. He usually launches his season in the Middle East, and he’s sticking to that tradition this year too, gearing up for the Dubai Desert Classic in just two weeks. We guess the 3rd world ranker is aiming for his third straight win there. 

The list has some more names as well, who might have decreased the PGA Tour’s viewership further. Names like Tommy Fleetwood, Shane Lowry, Jordan Spieth, the Korean star Tom Kim, and not to forget the orange-lover Rickie Fowler. With all this evidence it’s tough to not agree with Homa this time.
