Max Homa didn’t achieve much success in 2025, and his tough luck continued in 2026, with a missed cut at the Farmers Insurance Open and a T27 finish at the American Express. But seven years ago, Homa made a cut that changed his trajectory. 

Monday Q Info released a personal chat with Max Homa from February 11, 2019, about a Monday qualifier at the WM Phoenix Open. It was his first qualifying cut after missing six back-to-back cuts.

And that was the moment that boosted Homa’s confidence going into the AT&T Pebble Beach. Since then, he has won six events and made over $28 million.

Reacting to the importance of that Monday qualifier, Homa texted, “I had been playing awesome, and things weren’t clicking for whatever reason. It was great to finally see some success when it mattered.”

Homa finished T10th at the 2019 AT&T Pebble Beach. And after six events and two further missed cuts, he managed to secure his first-ever PGA Tour victory at the Wells Fargo Championship, earning a whopping $1,422,000. 

Throughout his career, Max Homa has won six on-tour events and one international event. With 143/224 cuts made since 2014, he’s earned $29,149,083 in total official money. 

But what did he feel like as he won his career’s first PGA Tour final?

Max Homa Weighs In on His First PGA Tour Win

As he prepared to compete against the finalists, Homa stated, “Confidence takes a lot of anxiety away.”

He stayed composed throughout the game and pulled off a bold uphill long shot onto the par-5 15th green. He two-putted for birdie and went on to protect his three-shot cushion on the final hole. Finally, he rolled in a 10-footer to close at 15-under 269. 

Following the win, Homa got honest and said, "Over the moon, man. It means a lot to do it under pressure, and job security is great. I haven't had that."

Right now, Homa is three years away from his last win at the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open. But we can still expect him to showcase a burst of excellence in the upcoming events.
