Max Homa Admits Exhaustion Over Demanding Double Duty as TGL & PGA Tour Clash

On Sunday, six-time PGA Tour winner Max Homa competed in two professional events within hours.
The 35-year-old first completed his final round on Sunday at the Cognizant Classic on the PGA Tour. Homa carded a 4-under 67 and finished tied for 13th at PGA National Resort, wrapping up around 3:30 p.m. ET.
Speaking during his post-round press conference, Homa addressed the turnaround before heading to his evening commitment.
“It’s going to be a bit much, it’s very late,” Homa said of the TGL’s 9 p.m. ET start. “I’m going to pack up all my stuff from here. Got to be over there, probably going to shower, change, run over, around 6 or something.”
Later that night, at 9:00 p.m. ET, he competed in a TGL match at the SoFi Center, located a few miles from PGA National. Homa represented Jupiter Links GC alongside Tom Kim and Akshay Bhatia against Boston Common Golf.
The overlap occurred due to TGL’s prime-time schedule, which can coincide with PGA Tour Sundays when events are staged in the same region. Due to this, Homa moved directly from one competition to the next.
The 2023 Farmers Insurance Open winner’s schedule on Sunday also raised questions about whether he had ever handled two competitive commitments in a single day before.
Max Homa Says He Can’t Recall Another Two-Event Day
Max Homa responded directly when asked about the last time he had taken on two competitive commitments in a single day.
“That’s a good question. I doubt I have. I’m sure when I was young, I might have got close, but I can’t think of it off the top of my head.”
While Homa said he could not recall a similar situation, past records show he has handled extended days on the course.
At the 2022 Scottish Open, held at The Renaissance Club, he completed 36 holes during the tournament week.
After finishing his second round, he also played a round at North Berwick Golf Club before returning the following day to post a bogey-free 66.
