The year’s soccer transfer window now grows more intense day by day. Amid the many nail-biting possible transfers, one has stolen the spotlight. It’s none other than the offer the Saudi Pro League has made for Kylian Mbappe. The whopping billion-dollar offer has caught many in the sports world’s attention, including that of Max Homa, the hilarious golf pro.
Known for his epic social media wit, Homa couldn’t help but come out to extend his opinion on the $1.1 billion record-breaking offer that the Frenchman received. And his tweet hilariously brought the golf world to its knees, with them inevitably tying the news back to LIV Golf!

The 32-year-old golfer recently shared a post on his Twitter account in which he left a witty comment on the offer made by a Saudi Arabian Club to bring Mbappe over to the league for one year. The six-time PGA Tour winner made sure to highlight the absurdity of the money offered through his quick humor as he made a point of the unreal deal.
The World Cup winner was offered $1.1 Billion by Al-Hilal, out of which his current club PSG would be offered $332 million, with the remaining $776 million being solely for the French star to pocket! Commenting about it and responding to Bleacher Report’s Tweet on the offer, Homa wrote, “For this much money I think I’d start calling it futbol.”

America is known for being headstrong in calling the game ‘soccer’ rather than football, since they use the term ‘football’ in reference to the sport played by the NHL. The post is subtly hilarious since Homa, being an American, mentions how he would be ready to change his mind about what the game is called for that much money.
It is not a secret that the American pro golfer is famous for his Twitter posts, as he takes to his handles to share tweets and posts that make his fans laugh. The golfing community has always loved his social media posts, especially the one that hilariously warned an American streaming service about changing their name to ‘Max’. And Homa has not disappointed the fans yet again with this recent comment!
Golf world reacts to Homa’s hilarious post
As the recent tweet went viral on the internet, it drew in a bunch of responses from his fans in the golfing community. Ranging from amazingly witty to being sarcastic about the Saudi-backed league, the responses differed greatly. Let us take a look at some of the comments.
Known for their flashy offers and prize money, Saudi-funded LIV Golf made much news leading up to and after their merger with the PGA Tour. And hence fans drew comparisons to that!
I guess it’s the money they were going to give Tiger for LIV and since it was just laying around they offered it to Mbappe

Would you accept that money to play 1 year on LIV Golf?

Some people commented on the absurdity of the money being offered by comparing it with golf.
Bearing in mind that we're talking about LIV Soccer here if I were Phil, DJ, Brooks or any of the other LIV golfers I would be seriously pissed right now!
