There are many reasons professional golfers have found themselves in need of a win, but few have encountered the dilemma Max Homa<\/a> currently faces.<\/p>\n

The six-time PGA Tour winner is on the verge of finishing regular season well outside the top 70. A win would help get him in, but a far more pressing need at home puts a major emphasis on getting a trophy this week.<\/p>\n

“I need to win. I really need to win because my wife’s pregnant and I need to go home,” Homa said after the first round of the 3M Open, according to the transcripts of his post-round interview. “We have like two weeks left. It’s a little extra stressful, but I think the only way that you can go out and win a golf tournament is by not exactly trying to win a golf tournament. So it’s a weird headspace.”<\/p>\n

A victory would give Homa the opportunity to stay in contention for the FedEx Cup playoffs. The playoffs don’t start until Aug. 15, so a win in Minnesota would allow Homa to be home for a couple of weeks and not have to keep chasing the playoff spot. The $1.5 million for first place wouldn’t hurt, either.<\/p>\n

That’s why, despite his wife’s upcoming due date, Homa is playing the 3M Open and is also committed to the Wyndham Championship next week.<\/p>\n

“My wife told me to play, so it’s scheduled the Monday after the Wyndham,” Homa said, according to the transcripts. “Yeah, just every day I finish a day of golf I look at my phone and see if I’m flying home so we’ll see. It’s a good problem to have.”<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old got off to a strong start at the 3M Open, carding five birdies to finish a bogey-free first round tied for 18th at 5-under. However, he trails leader Adam Svensson by six strokes.<\/p>\n

He has had a rather poor season, with seven missed cuts in 18 tournaments played and only two top-25 finishes, including a top-10 he achieved just two weeks ago at the John Deere Classic (T5)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Homa married his wife Lacey Croom in 2019, and they welcomed their first child, Cam Andrew, in October 2022.<\/p>\n
