Max Homa Draws Inspiration from Jalen Hurts as He Seeks to Rebound at Genesis Invitational

The PGA Tour golfer reflects on resilience and purpose amid struggles, motivated by the Super Bowl MVP's journey and philosophy.

Max Homa, currently ranked 60th in the world, has been in a prolonged slump since his third-place finish at the 2024 Masters, missing three cuts in his last five starts.
Homa found inspiration in a quote from Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, who recently led his team to a Super Bowl victory and was named MVP, emphasizing having purpose beyond external opinions.
Despite missing the cut at the WM Phoenix Open, Homa believes he made significant progress, describing it as the best he has ever swung a golf club, particularly with his driver.
Homa has undergone significant changes to his game, including switching coaches and equipment, as he works to regain his form and confidence on the PGA Tour.
Drawing parallels to Hurts' journey from adversity to triumph, Homa remains focused on long-term growth and resilience, viewing setbacks as stepping stones toward future success.
