Max Homa Needs To Apologize For His 'Embarrassing' Behavior Sunday

Max Homa is getting ripped apart online after a video surfaced of his epic PGA Tour meltdown on Sunday.

Video of Homa throwing his club in disgust after a rough shot from the woods went viral on social media. Homa, one of the most likable players on the PGA Tour, is getting criticized - heavily - for his meltdown. But things need to be taken a step further.

Homa, 35, needs to apologize - and fast. An apology needs to come from Homa immediately after his final round at the RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, South Carolina on Sunday afternoon.

The video is truly embarrassing.

An apology is needed, for one, because it's just a bad example. Homa is very active in the golf world, both on social media and in public. He's one of the PGA Tour's most reachable players. He'll often interact with fans both online and on the course.

Homa is someone that young golfers look up to. This kind of behavior is not something that should be tolerated or praised. It should be ridiculed - and that's what's happening on Sunday afternoon.

But Homa needs to take it a step further and say sorry.

There's also the hypocrisy angle

Earlier this week, Homa blasted Sergio Garcia for his meltdown at The Masters.

"I don't like when people break clubs. I don't like when people beat up the golf course because we deal with it, and I think the breaking clubs makes us look very, very spoiled," Homa said during a news conference Wednesday at the RBC Heritage on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.

"... So I don't know where I'd draw that line exactly, but I definitely think beating up a golf course would be probably tops just because the rest of us have to play it. But yeah, that's a tough thing to handle or to decide upon because it is so subjective. If I do something where no one is watching on TV, that gets graded a lot lower than when it's in front of everybody. So I don't know how you would land that plane."

Just days later, Homa crossed the line himself.

It's unacceptable behavior from one of the PGA Tour's most likable players. It's surely something that he regrets. But he can't just regret it.

Homa needs to apologize, too.

Hopefully, we'll get a full apology from Homa for his behavior in the final round of the PGA Tour event on Sunday.
