On an otherwise slow news day, PGA Tour pro Max Homa started Tuesday's liveliest debate with one tweet.

This is obviously never, ever going to happen, BUT. . . Rory McIlroy did "like" the tweet. . . So . . . Let's let our imaginations wander for a bit. It seems everyone else -- at least, all the golf writers -- on Twitter already has. First, some expected replies:

And finally, some predictions over who would win rolled in. Again, for this imaginary event that will never happen. Again, it was a slow news day:

We'd add SI's Gary Van Sickle, who has seven holes-in-one and played in the 2014 U.S. Senior Amateur Championship, to the mix (Go golf writers!). OK, so what's the next step?
