Max Homa Ditches Caddie amid Carrying Own Bag at Painful US Open Qualifier
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Max Homa was the talk of the town during 'Golf's Longest Day,' but not precisely for his results. The six-time PGA Tour winner was seen carrying his own golf bag during the qualifying event at the Kinsale Golf & Fitness Club in Columbus, Ohio. It is a highly unusual situation, because caddies are allowed at these events, and Homa has had a successful enough career to afford hiring one. He was reportedly the only player in the field huffing his own bag around the course. This is what Golf's Longest Day is all about! 6x @PGATOUR winner Max Homa out here grinding 36 holes with his own bag on his back in an effort to play in his sixth-consecutive U.S. Open. — U.S. Open (@usopengolf) June 2, 2025 This led to the obvious question: Why was he carrying his own bag? Homa didn't say much about it. "I'd much rather talk about the golf instead of all the questions about the caddie," he said, according to Associated Press. "I'm good. Just hoofed it 36." However, AP reported that Homa and his caddie, Bill Harke, parted ways after only two months of working together. Ergo, Homa had to carry his own bag at Columbus. "I haven't carried my bag 36 holes in a while so I'm a little tired," he said. As for golf, Homa's performance in the final qualifier was very dramatic. He lost his chance to earn a spot in the US Open literally on the last hole. A par or better on the 36th hole would have secured his spot among the six qualifiers. However, he three-putted for bogey and finished at 5-under, tying with four other players. Therefore, a playoff was necessary to determine the final qualifier.

More Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images Cameron Young earned the final spot at Oakmont by birdieing the first playoff hole. Another sudden-death hole was then played to determine the two alternates for the event, and Chase Johnson and Eric Cole defeated Max Homa and Rickie Fowler in this instance. Erik van Rooyen won the Columbus qualifier comfortably with a 36-hole score of 13-under. PGA Tour players Bud Cauley, Lanto Griffin, and Justin Lower tied for second place at 7-under, and Harrison Ott earned fifth place at 6-under. Max Homa's US Open dream isn't completely over, as he's in the field for this week's RBC Canadian Open at TPC Toronto's North Course. Homa, currently ranked 87th in the world, needs a strong finish to move into the top 60 and earn the very last ticket to Oakmont.

Tiger Woods' Win Percentage Outpaced by Scottie Scheffler amid Memorial Win
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Scottie Scheffler continues to reach new heights in his career, prompting comparisons to Tiger Woods. Comments like Jack Nicklaus's recent statement that Scheffler is playing better than he ever did certainly contribute to the conversation. The World No. 1's victory at the Memorial Tournament is another stone in the monument to his greatness, and not a small one. According to the X Underdog Golf tally, Scheffler has won 16 of his last 72 starts on the PGA Tour, representing an impressive 22.2% winning percentage. For comparison, Tiger Woods's career winning percentage is 21.7%. Scottie Scheffler last 72 starts (since first win): 62 top 25s (86%) 51 top 10s (71%) 16 wins (22.2%) Tiger's career win rate is 21.7%. — Underdog Golf (@UnderdogGolf) June 1, 2025 There is no doubt that Scheffler's growth from 2022 to the present has been exponential. During that period, he finished in the top 25 in 86% of the 62 tournaments he played and in the top 10 in 71% of them. This, coupled with his win rate, demonstrates his current overwhelming superiority. However, these statistics also demonstrate the enormous gap that continues to separate Tiger Woods from the rest of the golf world. Note that the winning percentage cited by Underdog Golf for the 15-time major winner corresponds to his entire career spanning 28 PGA Tour seasons. Woods has won 82 of the 378 PGA Tour tournaments he has played in (21.7%). This record still seems untouchable, even in light of Scheffler's extraordinary performance in recent years. Woods' impressive statistics include 339 cuts made (89.7%), 163 top-five finishes (43.1%), and 199 top-10 finishes (52.6%). Bubba Watson of the United States poses with the green jacket after winning the 2014 Masters Tournament by a three-stroke margin at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, 2014 in Augusta, Georgia. Bubba Watson of the United States poses with the green jacket after winning the 2014 Masters Tournament by a three-stroke margin at Augusta National Golf Club on April 13, 2014 in Augusta, the four consecutive seasons in which Woods' performance peaked (1999–2002) makes it clear how far ahead of his competitors he was. During that period, the 82-time PGA Tour winner played in 78 tournaments and made the cut in all of them. He won an impressive 34.6% of those events (27), and finished in the top 10 in 70.5% of them (55). It's also worth mentioning that he achieved another five victories on the European Tour during that same period. The bottom line is that it's probably safe to say Scheffler is the best player on the PGA Tour since Tiger Woods. However, he is nowhere close to what the Big Cat achieved inside the ropes.
