Max Homa took to Instagram recently to share a proud moment as his golf student showed off his swing progress. He was recently in the field for the 3M Open at TPC Twin Cities. The event wrapped up just days ago. Homa made the cut and finished with a total score of 12-under 272 after four rounds.

He reshared an original post shared by a young golfer on July 29. Homa simply captioned his story as:

“👑Proud of you.”

The student, who has been working on his swing since last year, gave a glimpse into his journey. He dedicated his progress to his motivation, Max Homa:

“A year the improvement on my swing compared to 2023 this is the hardest sport oat it’s not the strength but the technique and to get that you must be dedicated and have to love the game to be good at it -Shout to my coach Spinola -shout out to the man who motivated me to golf @maxhoma.”

Max Homa’s 2025 Season so far

Max Homa’s 2025 PGA Tour season has been a bumpy ride so far. The six-time PGA Tour winner has played 19 events this year but has struggled to find consistency. He has made the cut in 11 tournaments, managing only two top-25 finishes and one top-10.

His strongest result came at the John Deere Classic, where he tied for 5th place with a 16-under-par finish. He also had a solid outing at the Masters, finishing T12 at 4-under-par. But apart from these highlights, Homa has had a rough year, with several early exits and below-average performances. Here’s a quick look at how Homa has fared in each event leading up to the 2025 Wyndham Championship:

• The Sentry - T26 (19 under par)
• Farmers Insurance Open - W/D (5 over par)
• AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am - T53 (6 under par)
