“In Junior high school, my coach at that time said… ‘what's easier to shoot 4 under like a four birdies or seven birdies.’ I said four birdies and he said stop, stop making so many bogeys.”

“I think anytime you wear the red, white and blue, just the honor of it is as high as it gets…I think in a grander scheme it’s really a massive accomplishment, so I think you just can take pride in it. It’s like winning a golf tournament, qualifying for that team or winning a lot maybe in your mind. If you’ve ever played on [a Ryder Cup team], it’s the most fun, coolest thing you’ll ever do. To qualify for it is so hard and then such an accomplishment that I think that’s why it means so much to everybody.”

Max Homa last played at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome, where the US side lost the trophy to Europe, 16.5-11.5. This year, the US side has Bradley as the captain. The golfers on the US side are Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Ben Griffin, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, and Cameron Young as captain's picks. The automatic qualifiers on the American side are Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, and Harris English.
