Max Homa says that he is excited for the 2025 season

Max Homa has had an average 2024 season, as per his standards. In the 2022-23 season, he has had two wins, and 13 top-10 finishes in 25 starts. However, this year, he has only three top-10 finishes with no wins. Homa finished 9th in the FedExCup standings last year but finished 46th this year.

In the recent 2024 ZOZO Championship, Homa said that he's hoping for a better 2025. He said, via PGA Tour:

"I am excited for 2025 in that a lot of things I wasn't particularly good at to start '24 I did become quite good at. So, with another couple months of work and being able to hone in the things I didn't do well in the past season, you know, I still grew in areas."

"Just you're going to need to do a good job of taking what you did improve on and put that to good use for the next season when you do play better in the areas you struggled in. I'm excited for that. I'm excited for the things I've gotten better at and I'm just going to continue to work on the things I struggled with last year," he added.

Homa started the year when he was seventh-ranked on the OWGR rankings. He has slipped to 30th. Homa said that even though it was a "frustrating" season, it didn't mean that it was net negative.
