Max Homa has enjoyed an exceptional rise since 2021, lifting PGA Tour titles, making a winning Presidents Cup debut and reaching a career-high of 13th in the Official World Golf Rankings.

Following an incredible 2023 season, Homa will be heading to Rome in September to represent the USA in this year’s Ryder Cup – his first appearance in this competition.

The 32-year-old American is a Titleist staff player and uses a full bag of the brand’s clubs, along with their Pro V1 ball. He wears FootJoy clothing and shoes.

Max Homa won the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open for his sixth PGA Tour title.

Homa, who turned pro in 2013, won twice on the Korn Ferry Tour before gaining his PGA Tour card. He won his first event on the biggest stage at the 2019 Wells Fargo Championship. Wins two and three came in 2021 at the Genesis Invitational and the Fortinet Championship. He then picked up his second Wells Fargo and Fortinet Championship titles in 2022, before lifting his latest trophy at the Farmers Insurance Open at the start of 2023.

The Californian’s best Major performance to date came at The Open this year where he finished T10.

While Homa may not be known for his driving ability, he doesn't perform badly against other players on the PGA Tour. In every driving statistic, he is better than the field average.
