Once one of the top amateur golfers in the United States, Max Homa struggled a touch to begin his professional career but is now one of the top players on the PGA Tour.

Following a stellar high school career, where he was a four-time all-conference selection, Homa stayed in his home state of California to play his college golf at Cal-Berkeley, where he teamed with fellow future PGA Tour pro Byeong Hun An, to whom he lost in the quarterfinals of the 2010 U.S. Amateur.

A member of the All-American Team and the All-Nicklaus team at Cal as a senior, Homa won the individual NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship in 2013, the same year in which he also competed in his first U.S. Open. After representing the U.S. in the Walker Cup later that year, Homa turned pro.

Over the first few years of his professional career, Homa bounced back and forth between the Web.com Tour (now the Korn Ferry Tour), where he’s notched a pair of victories, and the PGA Tour, where he’s maintained full-time status since the 2018-19 campaign. That was also the year he scored his first PGA Tour victory, and he’s added five more since then.

So just who is Max Homa? Below, you’ll find everything you want to know about this highly popular PGA Tour player, from his stellar amateur career to becoming one of the top players in the world to his stats and career earnings and everything in between.

Where did Max Homa grow up and play high school golf?

The only son of Bonnie Milstein and John Homa, Max Homa (birth name John Maxwell Homa) was born on Nov. 19, 1990, in Burbank, California.

He was raised in the Santa Clarita Valley and attended Valencia High School, where he was a four-time First-Team All-Foothill League selection and the Foothill League MVP in 2009, the same year he graduated. He was also an honor roll student all four years.

During his time at Valencia, Homa represented the Southern California area on the Junior America’s Cup team. He held a combined 72.2 scoring average over his final two years and led his team to a spot in the sectional championship as a senior.

Where did Max Homa go to college?

Upon graduating from Valencia in 2009, Max Homa took a scholarship offer at the University of California, Berkeley, where he continued his ascent in the amateur rankings, reaching as high as 18th in the U.S. and 50th in the world.

In 2010, he reached the quarterfinals of the U.S. Amateur, where he lost to Cal teammate Byeong Hun An.

As a sophomore in 2010-11, Homa earned the team’s Most Improved Player award, lowering his stroke average by 1.5 shots to 72.19, the second-lowest on the squad, and was also a Second-Team All-Pac 10 selection.

He was again a Second-Team All-Pac 12 selection as a junior in 2011-12, a season during which he became the first player in school history to finish in the top 10 at both the NCAA Championship and an NCAA Regional. At the Del Walker Match Play Championship that year, Homa, who also received Third-Team PING All-American honors, defeated a young Alabama freshman named Justin Thomas.

Homa made more school history as a senior in 2012-13, becoming just the third Cal golfer to win individual medalist honors at the Pac-12 Championship. During that event, he shot a 9-under 61 on the North Course at Los Angeles Country Club to set a new course record.

Again named an All-American, Homa won the 2013 NCAA Division I Men’s Golf Championship in Atlanta by three strokes, shooting 70-65-66 to finish at 9-under. Arizona State’s Jon Rahm was one of six players tied for second at 6-under, a group that also included future PGA Tour winner Daniel Berger.

Just a few weeks later, Homa appeared in his first U.S. Open at famed Merion Golf Club but missed the cut after shooting rounds of 73 and 78.

Homa also teamed up with Justin Thomas and represented the United States in the Walker Cup later that year. The U.S. triumphed 17 to 9 over the Great Britain & Ireland team led by the world’s top amateur: future U.S. Open champion Matt Fitzpatrick.

Homa turned pro following the event.

Max Homa Korn Ferry Tour career

Upon turning pro in the fall of 2013, Max Homa played a couple of PGA Tour events before making his way to the Web.com Tour. He tied for sixth at the tour’s qualifying school, earning himself full-time status for the 2014 season.

Homa earned his first professional victory during his rookie campaign, winning the BMW Charity Pro-Am. He finished 17th on the money list to earn full-time status on the PGA Tour for the 2014-15 season.

But after he struggled in the big leagues, the California native was back on the Web.com Tour full-time in 2016, a year in which he notched win No. 2 at the Rust-Oleum Championship. Homa returned to the PGA Tour for the 2016-17 season but was again back in the minors full-time in 2018.

After again playing well enough to earn full-time status on the PGA Tour in 2018-19, Homa hasn’t been back to what’s now known as the Korn Ferry Tour. In total, he played 74 events on the Web.com Tour, making the cut in 40 of them, and recorded eight top-10 finishes, including his two wins.

Max Homa 2013 Korn Ferry Tour (Web.com Tour) season

Homa made one official start on the Web.com Tour in 2013, missing the cut at the Mylan Classic as an amateur. He then tied for sixth at the qualifying tournament to earn full-time status for the 2014 season.

Max Homa PGA Tour career

Upon turning pro in 2013, Max Homa’s first event was the inaugural tournament of the 2013-14 wraparound campaign — the Frys.com Open, which was the first of its kind. It went quite well for Homa as he tied for ninth. He followed it up with a tie for 30th the following week at the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open. Those were his best two finishes in eight starts on the PGA Tour that season.

Homa earned full-time status on the PGA Tour ahead of the 2014-15 season but couldn’t maintain it, making just 12 cuts in 27 starts. He returned full-time in 2016-17 but was even worse, making just two cuts in 17 starts, which earned him yet another demotion to the Web.com Tour.

Homa finally broke through during the 2018-19 season, notching his first PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow to earn his first paycheck of over a million dollars and a two-year extension on his tour card.

Less than two years later, Homa earned his second victory by winning the 2021 Genesis Invitational at Riviera, where he was handed the trophy by his idol and the tournament’s host, Tiger Woods. During the 2021-22 season, he added another pair of wins, and he’s added two more during the 2022-23 campaign, a season during which he has also cracked the top five in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time.

While Homa spent the vast majority of 2014 on the Web.com Tour, he made six additional starts on the PGA Tour, missing the cut in four of them.

By finishing 163rd in the FedEx Cup standings, Homa lost his tour card and returned to the Web.com Tour.

Max Homa 2018-19 PGA Tour season

Again back on the PGA Tour on a full-time basis, Max Homa didn’t have the greatest start to the 2018-19 PGA Tour season. After tying for 60th in the Safeway Open, he missed the cut in his next six starts.

But then things started to turn around.

He made the weekend in six of his next eight starts and recorded his first top-10 on the PGA Tour in years at Pebble Beach. And in early May 2019, Homa finally broke through and notched his first PGA Tour victory, shooting 15-under at Quail Hollow Club to win the Wells Fargo Championship.

He failed to crack the top 25 throughout the remainder of the season but made the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the first time, making it as far as the BMW Championship, where a final-round 78 dropped him into a tie for 61st.

Max Homa 2022-23 PGA Tour season

Just as he’d done the year before, Max Homa kicked off the 2022-23 PGA Tour season with a win at the Fortinet Championship, doing so in dramatic fashion with a chip-in birdie on the 72nd hole.

WOW.

This chip-in at the last kicks off a wild sequence leading Max Homa to a second consecutive win at the Fortinet Championship.

Just a few months later, Homa earned PGA Tour win No. 6 as he took the title at the Farmers Insurance Open, shooting a final-round 66 at Torrey Pines to win by two over Keegan Bradley. He was in contention to win the Genesis for a second time just a few weeks later but settled for a runner-up finish behind Jon Rahm.

Homa finished his year —prior to the newly incorporated fall swing — with four straight top-10s, eventually landing in a tie for ninth at the Tour Championship.

Max Homa Official World Golf Ranking

Max Homa’s first entry in the Official World Golf Ranking was in June 2013 following his appearance at the U.S. Open. After missing the cut, he debuted at No. 1,545. In August 2013, he hit a career low at No. 1,569.

Homa cracked the top 1,000 for the first time following his professional debut at the 2013 Frys.com Open, where he tied for ninth, vaulting him to No. 890.

In May 2014, he cracked the top 500 for the first time, moving up from No. 650 to No. 328 following his first win on the Web.com Tour. During his well-documented struggles during the 2017-18 PGA Tour season, Homa dropped all the way back down to No. 1,282, marking his lowest point as a professional.

In May 2019, a week after winning his first PGA Tour event, Homa cracked the top 100 for the first time. He first made the top 50 following his victory at the 2021 Genesis, moving from No. 91 to No. 38.

Max Homa playing style

The beauty of Max Homa’s golf game is that it really doesn’t have a weakness.

Despite past accuracy struggles off the tee — he ranked close to last in that department during his rocky 2016-17 season — Homa is now a solid driver of the golf ball, typically hitting at least two-thirds of fairways and averaging more than 300 yards off the tee.

Homa has developed a reputation for being one of the best ball-strikers on the PGA Tour, and his swing and tempo have been the subject of many, many compliments, including some high praise from none other than his idol, Tiger Woods.

Homa also has quite the delicate touch around the greens and is strong in all aspects of the short game — chipping, pitching, and putting. He’s also seen by many as one of the most mentally tough players on the planet, which has undoubtedly contributed to his success.

Max Homa caddie

Max Homa’s current caddie is Joe Greiner, who he’s known since he was six years old.

Greiner, a strong player himself who once had aspirations of playing professionally, was on Homa’s bag for a spell in 2013 before going to work for Kevin Chappell. But when Chappell took some time off due to a back injury, Greiner returned to Homa’s bag in 2019 and has yet to leave.
