Max Homa has a new reason to smile heading into the Masters , even if this season hasn't exactly gone to plan. The six-time PGA Tour winner announced on Instagram that he and his wife Lacey are expecting their second child. In a family photo posted to his 737,000 followers Tuesday, Homa beamed beside his wife and son Cam with the caption, "Baby no.
2 coming soon!" Messages of support poured in from across the golf world, with stars like Nelly Korda and Michelle Wie West chiming in to share their love. Lacey followed up in the comments with a heartfelt: "I love you and Cam so much!" The feel-good announcement comes at a crucial moment for Homa, who's looking to reset after an underperforming stretch of tournament play . Now ranked 81st in the world, Homa is preparing for his sixth career start at Augusta National, which is arguably the most important major for a player trying to turn the tide in his season.
Homa is going into this year's Masters with a brand new caddy for the first time since 2019 . He spoke about he split from long time friend Joe Greiner and said: "It was not my choice, so it sucked, but we always had a deal that we're friends first and friendship mattered more than the work thing, and he was wise enough to do what he did." The Masters has been a problematic event for the Burbank, California native.
After missing the cut in both 2020 and 2021 and finishing in the 40s in 2022 and 2023, Homa delivered a career-best performance last year with a T-3 finish. The breakthrough capped a strong run in major championships and followed up his T-10 at the 2023 Open at Royal Liverpool and a Presidents Cup appearance for Team USA later that fall. 2025 has told a different story, and Homa has struggled to string together solid results.
After T-26 finish at The Sentry to start the calendar year, he withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open, then missed the cut in five consecutive PGA Tour events, including Phoenix, the Genesis Invitational, and the Arnold Palmer Invitational. A missed cut at The Players Championship added to the slump, and was repeated following a disappointing showing at the Valero Texas Open. 2023 saw Homa play the best golf of his career when he closed the season ranked seventh in the world and won three times across the PGA and DP World Tours, including the Fortinet Championship, Nedbank Golf Challenge, and a come-from-behind victory at the Farmers Insurance Open.
Homa recovered from a five-stroke deficit to overtake Keegan Bradley at Torrey Pines. Last season had its ups and downs, but it was far more consistent than his performances this year. Homa racked up three top ten finishes last season and also made the cut in three of the four majors, including the third-place finish at Augusta, a 35th-place finish at the PGA Championship, and a 43rd-place finish at The Open.
