After failing to make the cut at TPC Sawgrass, a dejected Max Homa gave an insight into his mindset after his misery following an alarming drop off in his form after the Masters was compounded

In the not-so-distant past, Max Homa and Viktor Hovland were two of the biggest stars on the PGA Tour. In April 2023, Homa was ranked fifth in world. In August 2023, Hovland was ranked fourth. Both players struggled mightily in 2024 and are off to another horrendous start in 2025.

Golf is a hard enough sport as it is. It's nearly impossible when you're fighting your swing and your mind on one of the most demanding courses in the world, and both Max Homa and Viktor Hovland experienced that frustration during the first round of the Players Championship.
