Professional golfer Max Homa has publicly discussed his decision to step away from social media platforms such as Twitter (now X), citing the pervasive negativity and toxicity he encountered online. Homa described X as a "safe haven for a--holes" and expressed that the hostility and hate on these platforms wasted his energy. Despite his social media hiatus, Homa has shown strong performance on the PGA Tour, recently taking the solo lead during the final round at the John Deere Classic. Although he narrowly missed winning, finishing tied for fifth, this marked his best finish since the 2024 Masters Tournament and his first top-10 in 14 months. Homa's improved focus and results coincided with his withdrawal from social media, though he continued to receive negative direct messages following his performance. Overall, his recent play suggests progress as he aims to end his 890-day win drought on the PGA Tour.
