Is Motivational The event filled with Ryder Cuppers? Here’s what Max Homa says

The ten American Ryder Cup players are on the field this week ChampionshipAlthough one of the best American players in the latest Ryder Cup, Max Homa is not among this group.

Homa is in Napa, California, because he has won this tour twice (when he was called the Fortinet Championship), he is from the state and went to school an hour away to Cal, but is also a good place to start in his schedule. He has not played since the Wyndham championship over a month ago after he lost FedEx Cup Play off for the first time since 2017.

Homa, of course, would like to be part of that Ryder Cup group that is tuing to Bethpage Black In two weeks, but his game has not been formed. However, he disagreed to have this extra attention in Silverado Resort this week is the motivation for him. He said it’s something else.

“No part of this is motivating; it is very good,” Homa said when he met with the media on Wednesday. “I love this event. I had a partnership with the fortresses for a while and the fact that they helped wait for this event was really great and then it was a kind of exit in the last minute. So having the process, what they did last year and then obviously stayed in this year. In the world, in the best world in the world.

“Some of these events in the fall, which is understandable, the fields are deep, but not heavy, but they are really great events. Like the Sanderson Farms event I have loved. This is definitely on my list. But they do not necessarily take as Scottie Scottie of the world. So I think it’s really interesting.”

The press conference and the Homa followed by them US Cup Ryder Keegan Bradleywho is not playing this week, and Ryder Cup Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa players.

Homa will be forgiven for feeling like the strange man.

It was not so long ago, in Rome, in the Ryder 2023 Cup, when its 3.5 points led the team – the total of the next top point was 2 – and he won his game of bachelors 1 above on Matt Fitzpatrick. He also played in the presidents’ Cup in 2022 and 2024, where he was also stellar, ending 5-2 in general.

You can argue that no American has been better at team events over the past three years.

“I think at any time you wear red, white and blue, only its honor is as high as it gets,” Homa said. “ALSO, I think in a grander scheme it is really a massive accomplyment, so i think you just can take in it. It’t’s like a golf tournament, Qualifying for that team or winning a tears maybe. If you’ve ever played on (a ryder cup), IT”ah, IT. Fun, Coolest You’ll Ever will.

Homa, however, has not won in two years, and when it came time to make the election of Ryder Cup captain, his name was not in conversation.

However he is not hanging his head this week or he does not feel bad for himself. He joked that there was a long time last year – specifically on Saturdays and Sundays – to “reflect how bad it was.” Although missing the Play -off had a silver lining, as it allowed him to be home when he and his wife welcomed their second child last month. He said he started practicing again about three weeks ago and has put more emphasis on his deployment. He is happy with the best of his blow to finish last season and hopes to continue.

He plans to play all three October events: Farms Sanderson, Baycurrent Classic (in Japan) and Utah Championship Bank. He hopes to be in the top 100 places of the FedEx Cup rankings by that time, which would give an invitation to the 2026 player championship.

He has goals for 2026. But no, this group of Ryder Cups is not motivating it. He doesn’t need it.

“Yes, it’s not motivating, but I see it cute enough for the event and anyone who comes out,” Homa said. “Always is always slightly drier than a typical west coast tour, but you will get as a front row place to see one of the best players you will ever see in your life, so I think it’s great.”
