2024 has proved not to be the year for many golfers, but Max Homa’s current situation has to be the worst. After some poor performances, Homa’s 2024 season still stands winless. His last two performances saw him land a T70 at the Genesis Scottish Open and a T43 at the British Open. As we said, poor performances. So what is the golfer’s plan for the first competition in the FedEx Cup? Well, not much. 

Despite being one of the best players on the PGA Tour, Homa’s gameplay is only going downhill this year. And the golfer is carrying the bad luck from the previous tournaments to the St. Jude Championship. If you go and check his current status on the St. Jude Championship’s leaderboard, you’ll have to scroll down, as he is currently dead last at T70 with a score of 7 over par. Yes, we know the tournament is just halfway through, but considering his previous performances, his stance is unlikely to get any better. We are not saying this, but the stats are. 

Round 1 of the St. Jude Championship saw the 6-time PGA Tour winner card not one but three bogeys, ending up with an average score of 1 under par. The second round also wasn’t in Homa’s favor. He carded five bogeys and two double bogeys and made a poor score of 8 over par. One would think that the golfer would learn from round 1 and do better in the next; however, Homa’s performance only got worse. 

That’s not all; Homa is currently at 41 in the FedEx Cup standings, which is way under the top 30. There still might be hope for the golfer to pull himself together and show the golf world what an amazing golfer he is. However, his past struggles at the St. Jude Championship don’t exactly make a good case for the golfer.

Max Homa’s previous performances at the St. Jude Championship

Imagine playing the game you love, but one tournament always seems to get the best of you. That’s Max Homa’s story at the St. Jude Championship. Homa’s last year’s performance at the TPC Southwind was average, to say the least. Last year, Homa carded 11 under par in total only to finish sixth. The winner, Lucas Glover finished with 15 under par on the leaderboard and took the trophy. The year before 2023 was even tougher for Homa.

Homa made a poor score of 5 under par and rested at T42 with the likes of Sim Woo Kim and Mito Pereira. Now, Homa is back at the TPC Southwind, ready to face his challenges and hopefully take home the trophy. He said that winning the FedExCup would be “such an honor” and it sure would be. Do you think this will be the year he finally wins the playoff?
