6X PGA tour winner can achieve a rare feat
The PGA Tour’s Fortinet Championship is starting from September 14-17 2023, and all eyes are on 6X PGA Tour Winner, Max Homa. Max Homa has dominated the Silverado Resort and Spa’s North Course — a sprawling 7,123-yard, par-72 layout — for two consecutive years. Now, he’s coming back to his home turf with ambitions for a third victory.
If he wins this year, he’ll achieve three straight victories at the Fortinet and will be the first golfer since Steve Stricker, who won at the John Deere Classic from 2009 to 2011, to clinch the same event for three consecutive years.
After the Napa event concludes, the golfing world will shift its focus to Rome’s Ryder Cup, hosted by the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club. Homa has also made waves in the Ryder Cup. In fact, the Fortinet Championship will also be graced by other notable golfers such as Justin Thomas, Max’s partner in the Ryder Cup, and the US Ryder Cup leader Zach Johnson.
The 2022-23 season continues at next week’s Fortinet Championship as the PGA TOUR returns to a calendar-year schedule in 2024.
Max Homa looks to become the first player since Steve Stricker (2009, 2010, 2011 John Deere Classic) to win the same event three years in a row.
