Major wins are an additional achievement for players and fans, but Max Homa has proved how great performances alone can bring fans to your side. The American professional golfer is a great example of someone who has been among the favorites with his impressive performances each year. Though this year he came very close to the major victory but fell just short of finishing T3 at the Masters Tournament.
Although he did not win any event in the 2024 season, he has 6 PGA Tour wins under his name. And despite remaining victoryless this season, he has performed well in the tournaments with close finishes. He had four top 25 finishes, while two top 10s and one top 5s, excluding the Masters Tournament. The consistency of the 34-year-old has helped him in securing the 35th rank. His consistency brought him to the top of the ongoing Nedbank Golf Challenge, and he might win his first title of this season. He is currently leading alongside the South African Strydom. With his outstanding performance, his choice of golf clubs has been a great support for Homa.
Homa has great driving stats, for the Masters Tournament he recorded an average distance of 300.8 yards. He kept his average above 300 yards this year too as compared to the last season, which was 304.8 yards. To make that possible, he uses the Titleist GT3 with a 10-degree loft supported by the Fujikura Ventus Blue 6 X shaft. The driver priced at $649 offers great spin reduction and increased ball flight for long-distance coverage. While the shaft helps with better balance and stability for Homa to maintain accuracy.

While his Titleist T100S (4i and 5i) and Titleist 620 (6i-9i) irons offer him the confidence for the added distance and control with additional precision on shots.
