Tiger Woods might seem like the biggest L.A. Dodgers fan on the PGA Tour, but that title truly belongs to Max Homa, who claimed his first PGA Tour victory on Sunday at the Wells Fargo Championship. If you followed Max on Twitter during last year's World Series between the Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox, you witnessed Homa go through the gamut of emotions, just as any diehard fan would if their team was in the Fall Classic. “Sports are dumb, I don't even care,” Homa tweeted on October 28, the night the Sox closed out the Dodgers to win the series.

A day earlier, Homa also sarcastically tweeted “I guess I need to rely on myself for sports success. What a joke” following the Dodgers loss in a pivotal Game 4. Little did he know that just over six months later, he'd deliver on that promise to himself in a big way, by claiming his first tour title by three strokes over the likes of Justin Rose, Sergio Garcia ..

Jamie SquireWe live in the age of rules. Sports fans understand way too much about the minutiae of the games that were once enjoyed on their own merits without obsessive checking and re-checking of every critical play, all made possible by the omnipresence of extremely powerful cameras that seem to cover every square inch of action. Was it a catch? Block or charge? Did the leg beat the tag? Did Tiger drop in the correct place, or was the eagle-eyed dude watching at home right when he actually phoned CBS?
Like everything that technology has wrought in this world, it's both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, it definitely results in more correct calls being made, so on balance you can argue that the games are “fairer.” On the other, replays take forever, they absolutely kill end-of-game drama, and they shift focus from the skill of the athletes to the byzantine language and bylaws and corollaries of some dense rule book that nobody except an official should ever spend one minute o..

Joe Greiner always knew there was something special about his childhood friend Max Homa

Sam GreenwoodPrior to Sunday, Max Homa was best known in the golf world for his presence on Twitter, a fact he was well aware of—and proud of. “I probably have a fairly large fan base compared to what I deserve for my golf,” Homa told Ron Kroichick of the San Francisco Chronicle in February. If you're one of Homa's 30,400 followers, you know “self-owns” like this are a common occurrence for the 2013 NCAA individual champion.
But on Sunday at Quail Hollow, Homa went from “that golfer on Twitter” to PGA Tour winner, something not even he could have imagined when he missed 15 of 17 cuts on tour in 2017. Homa kept plugging away, his hard work paying off in the form of a 15-under total at the Wells Fargo Championship, which earned him two years of playing privileges on tour, a spot in the PGA Championship in two weeks at Bethpage Black, an invite to next year's Players Championship and Masters, where he'll be making his debut, and much more.
