Max Homa Makes a Social Comeback: Can It Revive His Game?

For the first time in over two months, Max Homa broke his social media silence, returning to X (formerly known as Twitter) with a humorous post on Thursday. His tweet, sent after a disappointing streak of performances, marked a shift in his strategy to reclaim his form on the golf course.

Max Homa’s Social Media Return Signals a Shift in Strategy

Max Homa had previously stepped away from social media, hoping it might help improve his game. “Hopped off Twitter a while back cuz I thought it might help my game. Boy was I wrong 😂,” Homa posted. His dry spell without social media saw him struggling, with finishes like T-61 at the Travelers Championship, T-70 at the Genesis Scottish Open, T-43 at the Open Championship, and a last-place 70th at the FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Despite his efforts, the correlation between his absence from social media and his on-course performance was non-existent. As he teed off at the BMW Championship with a 2-over 74 at Castle Pines, Homa found himself in a precarious position. Currently ranked No. 43 in FedExCup points, he needs to climb into the top 30 to secure a spot at the Tour Championship at East Lake. However, with his current form, he faces an uphill battle.

Homa’s comeback on social media suggests a revival of his normal self, with the aspiration that submerging back into interaction with admirers may rekindle his enthusiasm. Despite not securing any triumphs lately, Homa has experienced some noteworthy moments this season—three top-10 finishes, to be exact, one of which was T-3 at the Masters. This illustrates that he remains capable of competing among the elite players in the sport.

As Homa continues his journey at the BMW Championship, fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if this social comeback will translate to success on the course. With his sense of humour intact and determination renewed, Max Homa is looking for that elusive spark to turn his season around.
