Golf in 2022 wasn’t defined by who won what, but instead by how we felt about the sport as a whole. Enter, Max Homa. Homa allowed fans to ride shotgun for years on his ride. He was needed in 2022. The Athletic's Golf Person of the Year:
Will Zalatoris at Southern Hills. Dustin Johnson dominated LIV, won all the money, and turned a 4 Aces team featuring Pat Perez into the rebel league’s version of the 2016 Warriors.Xander Schauffele, Tony Finau, Patrick Cantlay, Jon Rahm and Cam Young all had great seasons. Tom Kim reminded everyone how to fall in love again.
But this past year in professional golf wasn’t about any of that, was it? It wasn’t defined by who won what, but instead by how we felt about the sport as a whole. Everything played out through the prism of LIV Golf’s marauding arrival. All of it. Every week. Regardless of your leanings — PGA Tour or LIV, Tiger or Phil, Rory and Jay or Norman and the Saudis, whatever — we can all acknowledge the entire experience was both maddening and exhausting.
“There’s this argument now that it’s playing for money or playing for trophies. I call bulls— because we play for a lot of f—— money also. I don’t know if there’s an amount of money at this moment that would get me to quit the PGA Tour and I would not get to play the Presidents Cup. That’s what wakes me up in the morning.”Homa isn’t the only one to operate with such candor. But he’s the one fans connect with the most.
