Max Homa and Golf game are not in terms of talking now, but the six-time PGA Tour winner believes that a progress is to the corner-even if it doesn’t seem.
Since the end of last year’s T3 in Masters, Homa has only a Top-10 conclusion and has been heavy to rediscover the game that he saw him climb to NO. 5 in the official world golf rankings in 2023. Last week, Homa lost the cut on the WM Phoenix Open. On paper, this looks like another MC and Trunk Slam for now not. 60 ranking players in the world.
But the images can be misleading, especially in Golf.
“Last week, I actually hit the ball unbelievable and I missed the cut with five. Golf don’t like me at the moment, I noticed this,” Homa said on Tuesday during his pre-Turne press conference Genesis Invitational. “My coach said he fiercely afterwards, I think you were six feet combined away from being like 2 or 3 under. It is a hard, man’s game, and when you do not like to come back, it becomes very difficult. So I know you are moving in the right direction. “
Homa opened the season with a T26 Wrap in Sentry. He fought strongly in the first round of securing open farmers before retiring and then went to Pebble Beach and tied up for 53. Homa then lost the cut with a good margin at the TPC Scottsdale, but Homa found a silver lining on that show. He knows that those who look out from the outside may think they are lying, but last week’s lost cut was felt different from the weak shows in Torrey Pines and Pebble Beach.
“This is what is so strange for last week is that it is the best to shake the golf club as potentially – it will sound crazy, but potentially sometimes,” Homa said. “Just as it’s the best I have driven – as easy as I could imagine or ever remember by hitting a driver. Little curved, I was more of the middle. Such things if you were just watching golf, You could never see. of the ball, which means I have a freedom again.
“These are the things I am watching. I know all this sounds funny to people because it was so bad and I miss the cut with five, but like I was really excited for the past week. “
Homa will not set a time limit when he expects everything to click and his main form to return. He plans to trust his process and not get a lot of people in daily results, realizing that only because progress cannot be seen does not mean it is not happening.
Homa is taking inspiration from a newly-guided Super Bowl champion to stay closed in that mentality.
“I’m just trying to use the idea that I will have a long career after that, so you just continue to be better,” Homa said. “I need and I want to start seeing some results. But that won’t hinder me from what I’m working on.

“I heard that the great Jalen Hurts quotes where he said, ‘I have had a long time before someone had an opinion on him.” She gripped with me. I don’t know how I never heard it. But as two days ago I did and just made me realize that the result is looking for them as outside – as last week would never make sense to anyone unless you are part of my little thing – you would never think We made this progress. “
Homa knows that things look gloomy at the moment. According to Golf data, Homa has only gained positive blows in eight out of 18 tournaments since last year’s masters.
But the 34-year-old has passed a worse decline in his golf career and does not plan to prevent him from pushing forward, no matter how many times the game begins it in the teeth.
“I, for one, know what I’m capable of,” Homa said. “I know I’m quite harsh when it comes to these things. I’ve gone through this much worse before, where the results weren’t coming. I definitely have my low days. I’ve been too frustrated that From April. But I also find pride to wake up after a difficult day and have energy to go better.
“If I never again have another good result, that would be a massive striker. But I could rest easily – maybe in a few years – I could easily rest knowing that I am doing absolutely everything I can to do it. I have always been quite proud of my work ethic. I think that’s why I’m here. I think it’s my best quality and has grown about a thousand levels. “
As Homa left WM Phoenix Open last week, he had a moment of clarity about the road and work forward.
“I just thought to myself that the better the other victory will feel how much every victory he felt,” Homa said. “It blows. But I don’t know, I will not go – not that I have taken anything like good – but I know how it will feel the sweet relief of a great finish. So, I’m just trying to keep it as my motivational factor at the moment. “
Max Homa is near. You can’t see it. But he can feel it.
In golf, sometimes this is all you need to turn everything.
