PGA Tour pro makes wild accusation against his own tour while attacking reporter
Two-time PGA Tour winner James Hahn is not shy of making his views public, and once again took to Twitter to bite against a PGA Tour player.
The 41-year-old, who beat Dustin Johnson and Paul Casey in a play-off for the Northern Trust Open in 2015, is already on record as saying he hated the plans for ‘elevated’ events issued by the PGA Tour, only to then miss a players’ meeting to discuss the very subject.
This time, Hahn has jumped on a less-than-subtle bit of fishing by pro-LIV twitter account @DrunkByTheTurn who called LIV Adelaide, “Reviving a sport that’s dying.”
Eventual winner Talor Gooch had gone 10 shots clear after two rounds of the well-attended event at The Grange when the self-titled “19th Hole” posted a wind-up tweet.
Calling out another multi-tweeter in six-time PGA Tour winner Max Homa, the site posted:
Talor Gooch is everything Max Homa wants to be

The 32-year-old Californian doesn’t miss a beat on social media and was soon on the case, posting a sarcastic reply.
A bit of banter across tours – that’s all good. But then Hahn jumped on board.
In reply to Homa’s comment, Hahn re-posted a tweet from CBS golf reporter Kyle Porter, saying that the pro-PGA Tour comments are equally as galling, and that “fanboy accounts” are “not any better on the other [PGA Tour] side” while also claiming that “the PGAT is encouraging this type of behavior.”
Not any worse than PGAT fanboy accounts. I got Kyle on my jock strap 24/7. It’s not any better on the other side. And to think the PGAT is encouraging this type of behavior is absolutely disgusting. https://t.co/gKnTqdC8P1 pic.twitter.com/bBbEOAYNaH

Comments were from both sides of the fence, but @burnitallagain probably summed up some of the feeling behind Hahn’s comment. Isn’t Hahn a member of the ‘other’ side?
This is so confusing. Aren’t you a PGAT member this making you a stakeholder in the PGAT? Weren’t you on the Player Advisory Board for years? Aren’t YOU the PGAT?

LIV golf…..just another golf tour that’s not in the traditional form. The sticking point….are they worthy of world ranking points? Personally I don’t think so….not for exhibitions.
