Max Homa will be hoping to win the Genesis Invitational for the second time in his career having the tournament in 2021.
 
What to know about Homa
 
The American star competed as an amateur at the 2013 US Open and won the individual 2013 NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship. He was selected to the 2013 Walker Cup squad and turned pro after the event.
 
Homa has so far won nine professional tournaments including six events that are part of the PGA Tour and his best performance in a golf major came at the 2024 Masters Tournament where he finished third.
 
News
 
The Burbank, California-born golfer was in action in the most recent PGA Tour event in 2025 which was the WM Phoenix Open in Arizona, USA where he missed the cut.
 
Detry is currently placed 60th on the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR), and his best overall ranking is the fifth spot.
 
Why Homa is among the favourites 
 
The man who has a degree in Consumer Behavior tends to perform well in the Genesis Invitational having won the 2021 tournament in a playoff over Tony Finau - earning his second PGA Tour win.
 
Homa then finished second in the 2023 tournament behind champion Jon Rahm and he will now be looking to become the first American golfer to win the Genesis Invitational since 2021.
 
Quotes
 
"I'm very proud. I did not have it off the tee today, but man, I fought. I really just wanted to push him... I don't know why this is happening now. I've been fine for 15 minutes," Homa said after finishing second in the 2023 Genesis Invitational.
 
"I played great everywhere but off the tee on that back nine, but it is what it is. I was going to have to put up a pretty remarkable score. I think it's pretty amazing going against someone like Jon (Rahm). 
 
"You know he's going to play well, so it's almost comforting knowing you're just going to have to play better, he's not going to fold. So, I'm not disappointed in my golf, I'm just disappointed in the ending."
