Max Homa’s turbulent week reached a low point as the six-time PGA Tour winner failed to qualify for the 2025 U.S. Open at Oakmont, following a dramatic split with his caddie and a grueling 36-hole qualifier where he carried his own bag Homa parted ways with caddie Bill Harke just days before the Columbus, Ohio, qualifier, forcing him to go it alone during “Golf’s Longest Day”.
Despite shooting five under par across two rounds, a costly three-putt on the final hole dropped Homa into a five-man playoff for the last spot in the field. Cameron Young ultimately edged him out, leaving Homa outside the U.S. Open for the first time since 2019 The split with Harke marked Homa’s second caddie change in just two months, after ending a long-term partnership earlier this year.
Looking ahead, Homa has enlisted veteran caddie Lance Bennett for the RBC Canadian Open, hoping to reset after a challenging season that has yet to yield a top-10 finish The question remains: can Homa rebound and regain his form as the major season continues?
