Max Homa shares an optimistic message ahead of gameplay in Mississippi 

Max Homa is all set to return to the PGA Tour this week. Ahead of teeing it up at the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship, he shared a funny message with his fans and fellow golf enthusiasts.

As the 2025 Sanderson Farms Championship is being played at the iconic The Country Club of Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi, the professional golfer stated that saying the state's name is a funny challenge in itself.

To add his signature spin on the joke in his post on social media, Homa went on to state that making birdies on the golf course is just as, if not more, fun than spelling and saying Mississippi.

"Mississippi. Fun to say and fun to spell. Know what else is fun? Making birdies. Let’s do that #golf #pvo."
