Max Homa spoke to the media at the PLAYERS Championship where he was asked about his game, Scottie Scheffler as a dominating force in the game currently, and how he thinks that golf could be made a more watchable product on the PGA Tour.
Yeah it’s good I left the West Coast pretty frustrated the game felt quite bad um but I learned a lot I did a lot in the two weeks off to take what I learned and improve uh both physically and mentally so it was fun to come out
To Orlando last week play a very difficult Golf Course feel like I had a lot of I always seen a lot of good signs and did a a great job mentally just playing the golf course and being patient so I think that’s something that you know I’m obviously going to take
Going forward but especially a week like this yes uh Scotty’s just so consistent with 90% of his golf game and I mean like the most consistent I’ve ever really seen like it you know he’s had the week at Memorial last year where he lost by
One and I think he was like 18 Strokes gained putting behind the leader that’s terrifying but you know golf is hard and obviously there’s the the putting he he putt so well last week and as a friend of his I hope he you know can take a lot
From that and continue to putt well as someone was playing against him I hope you know the opposite at times but yeah he’s just an amazing player I I’ve never seen anybody hit the ball quite like that every day it usually you know you see people
Going es and flows of oh he’s striking the ball well um and then you’ll kind of look at the leaderboard later and and say oh you know what what must have happened from Wednesday to Thursday that doesn’t seem to happen to him he puts it together for months and then a year
Years at a time which is wild but you know short game’s amazing but I’ve been really impressed with his mind every interview he comes in and gives after a win just seems like he’s really got it figured out uh so I I imagine he’ll keep doing that and keep progressing with the
Putting and do more of what he did last week I’ve heard less commercials is a is this a good start um yeah I don’t know I I do feel like we’re stuck in this age where we’re nitpicking absolutely everything I I’m not going to say I
Haven’t done that as well in my free time but I’m kind of getting over it it’s golf uh it’s slower it’s not football it’s not basketball but there’s a lot of Beauty in it I think if I had to pick one thing I would like you know
Fridays out here are awesome uh when we do have a cut I think something just to lean into Friday’s not determining the golf tournament let’s follow some guys sweating the cut line little things like that but it it’s yeah it’s just we have a a it’s a niche sport I would love for
It to grow a bit I think through covid a lot of people have found a love for playing the game and I’m hoping that translates to them watching more uh but if not then that’s all right I think this is just kind of what we’ve been if
Tiger plays more you know I think that would help as well but uh you know I think I think the nitpicking of it is is getting kind of tired and we could just do a better job of just shutting up playing some golf and doing our best to entertain
