Winning on the circuit that one is accustomed to sometimes goes under the radar. However, when a golfer wins on some other circuit, their name becomes the talking point. Such is now the case with Max Homa who recorded a dominating triumph at the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa. The PGA Tour star claimed his first title on the international stage of the DP World Tour.

The 32-year-old received an invitation from the circuit and was happy to accept it. The event played at the Gary Player Country Club, named after the legendary Gary Player saw him dominate the early proceedings. The penultimate event of the Tour saw him finish 6-under 66 to claim another title in his list of honors.

Homa would eventually finish four strokes ahead of Nicolai Hojgaard. This was also Homa’s first appearance at any golfing event since his appearance at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

"It’s kind of what you dream of, you want to be in the fight and it was just fun to kind of close it out at the end".
Max Homa as per Golfweek.

The golfer now walks away with a cash prize of just over $1 million from the $6 million purse. He would also jokingly share the update of his win on X while saying he can now win in California and South Africa. Check out that hilarious tweet from him below:
