Watch: Max Homa beats Tiger Woods at ‘name the Lakers’ competition

Max Homa is truly a Lakers fan. He not only enjoys watching basketball but is also an avid Lakers fan. Recently, TGR shared a video of Tiger Woods and Homa competing against each other in a friendly competition to name most players of the Los Angeles Lakers Team.

In the game, Woods and Homa needed to quickly name the players of the Lakers team one after the other.

It started with Homa saying, "Kobe Bryant."

Woods said, "Wilt Chamberlain."

"Shaq," said Homa.

"Magic Johnson," added Woods.

"LeBron," answered Homa.

Woods replied, "James Worthy."

Homa paused for a while before saying, "Anthony Davis."

"Byron Scott," said Woods.

"Austin Reaves", replied Homa.

The game continued and both the golfers named Lakers players one after the other until Homa said, "Kareem" but Tiger Woods failed to recall any other basketball player and lost the game.

The TGR Live shared the clip on its X account with a caption, saying:

"Wishing our friends at the @Lakers good luck this season."
