WATCH: Max Homa carries his own bag at US Open 2025 qualifying after split with newly-appointed caddie

Max Homa competed in the US Open final qualifier on Monday, June 2, at Kinsale Golf and Fitness Club, Columbus, Ohio. However, the PGA Tour player wasn't accompanied by a caddie at the event.

Max Homa ended his partnership with Caddie Bill Harke after just two months, as per Golf Channel. There has been no official confirmation by Homa or Harke on the issue. Homa's longtime caddie was Joe Greiner, with whom he parted in April 2025 before the Masters Tournament. He then hired Harke as his new caddie.

Homa played 36 holes in Ohio and carried his own bag. The US Open shared a clip of him carrying his bag and wrote:

"This is what Golf's Longest Day is all about! 6x @PGATOUR winner Max Homa out here grinding 36 holes with his own bag on his back in an effort to play in his sixth-consecutive U.S. Open."

Homa refused to divulge his caddie situation at the post-event press conference. He said (via Golf Channel):

"I'm much rather talk about the golf instead of all the questions about the caddie. I'm good. Just hoofed it 36. As for the golf? It's going to probably be heartbreaking, but it's all right. I haven’t carried my bag 36 holes in a while so I’m a little tired."

Homa failed to qualify for the US Open. He scored 69 and 70 in the two rounds, finishing with a score of 5-under. He entered the playoffs with Cameron Young, Chase Johnson, Eric Cole, and Rickie Fowler for one spot. Young clinched the spot, while Homa missed out on the alternate spot, too.

The remaining five qualifiers from the event were Erik Van Rooyen, Bud Cauley, Lanto Griffin, Justin Lower, and Harrison Ott.
