What does Max Homa win John Deere mean? These three things

Max Homa has long entered the final round for the first time to compete for the PGA Tour title. John Deere’s Classic Board has a ranking of squeezing, so it’s a little silly to pick out someone and wonder what would happen if there were consequences he Want to win. But we do that here because the golfer in question is Max Homa, who entered more turbulent waters half last year, won several years of victory, fans and the U.S. game score. So we are here to dream with his fans and ask this potential victory:
what does that mean?
Let’s start with Homa. What’s there he Thinking that victory means, should he chase 54-hole leader Davis Thompson and postpone the rest of the Midwest?
“That’s great,” he said Saturday. But he quickly added: “I’m not really using the results to determine my progress…I know I’m doing a lot of great things. My entire team – JSR, Jason, Lance, Lance, everyone – has been working tirelessly on it.”
Regarding the result, this is a good thing. It must have been exaggerated, too. Everyone Use results to measure progress, especially for people like Homa, who admits he’s basically thinking about golf. However, professional golfers don’t (or shouldn’t!) spend a lot of time winning assumptions. It’s better to stay in this space. So, what else does Homa victory mean?
Max Homa’s Road. 3 John Deere Press Conference
1. He will win the playoffs
Shockingly, the FedEx Cup is currently ranked 122nd in the FedEx Cup, especially with only 70 playoffs. If Homa missed her job in 2026 (he still has the most recent win status), it means the ladder means Better Status, plus the chance to return to the top tier of golf and a chance to get to the top 50 in signature event status in 2026. But even more immediately…
2. He might win a big seat
It’s been a decade since Homa missed the last major until he didn’t qualify for Oakmont last month. Now, he is also expected to miss the open championship, too – unless he wins on Sunday.
John Deere was once part of the Open Qualification Track, a stadium dedicated to open qualifying. That’s not the case, but R&A is expected to fill its field as the next player on the OWGR roster, meaning it may still be responsible for Royal Portrush Tee time. According to the AP, Homa’s victory will increase him from No. 99 to near 50, which is likely to be inside the Open. This will give another chance…
3. Keep his Ryder Cup dream
Ridiculous? certainly! DataGolf recorded his chances of cracking in the top 12 roughly zero to zero. But I want to add: at present. Of course, even John Deere win It won’t bring him closer. But because this will give him more starts, more looks, more opportunities to show that he finds this elusive and is ready for war.
Again, this could be stupid, as Homa is currently ranked 39th in Team USA. But because this is Homa, arguably the best performance of the U.S. team in the 2022-23 Presidents and Ryder Cup, and since the last third seems to be able to grab the hottest players, it is not ridiculous to ask this question.
4. (Bonus) More important things
What does Homa win mean? I’m guessing here, but I doubt it means everything to him, to his team and to his process. After a year of turmoil, it will be validation, which makes him change the coach, club, caddie, golf swing. This will be a lot of confidence and a lot of chance because every PGA Tour is huge.
Then, Homa’s two last words:
On his Sunday mindset: “Yes, it’s fun. Golf this year is boring for me. I don’t have a lot of pressure, you want to be stressed. So I’m looking forward to the butterflies in the morning; I’m looking forward to the first tee.”
About him process Controversial: “I’ll let you guys process it. I’m just going to eat, sleep, wake up and get ready to play a round of golf.”
His game will also be. We’ll see who does the best.
