BIO
Max had a very solid 2020, posting four top 10 finishes on the PGA Tour. This built upon a breakthrough year in 2019 where he won the Wells Fargo Championship, 3 weeks before his wedding.
He continued his climb up the rankings in 2021 with wins at The Genesis Inviatational and Fortinet Championship, ending the year 34th in the world. Max won again in 2022 at Wells Fargo.
Max is also famous on twitter for ‘roasting’ his twitter followers golf swings and gets called The PGA Tour’s Twitter King. It all began when a twitter follower tweeted him asking him to ‘Roast my golf swing like you’re Gordon Ramsay roasting food”. Ever since then requests have flooded in and amusingly, he doesn’t show much mercy! Fellow professionals Justin Thomas and Eddie Pepperell have also been on the receiving end.
Significant info
Max got married in May 2019 and it was his 30th Birthday in November 2020. It was no surprise Homa bagged another win in 2021 having reached that landmark age.
