Max Homa recently attempted to replicate the iconic swing of John Daly but admitted that he still has a long way to go to perfect it. He shared a picture of his practice session on Instagram.

On Thursday, January 16, Homa posted the photo of his practice session on Instagram.

"Not quite John Daly but we're getting there," he wrote.

The six-time PGA Tour winner was last seen at the 2025 Sentry, where he tied for 26th. He also made his TGL debut a few days ago, and his team, Jupiter GC, suffered a heavy 12-1 loss against Los Angeles GC.

Meanwhile, John Daly recently underwent emergency hand surgery in Florida. He shared the news with his fans through an Instagram post while assuring them that he intends to return to action soon.

Max Homa will next compete at the Farmers Insurance Open, which will take place from January 22 to January 25 at Torrey Pines South Course in San Diego, California. Homa won the title here in 2023, defeating Keegan Bradley by two strokes.

Notably, the 2023 Farmers Insurance Open was Homa's last win on the PGA Tour although he did win the DP World Tour's Nedbank Golf Challenge later that year.

Over the past two seasons, Homa has had mixed results and has struggled with consistency. Last year, he missed four cuts in 22 starts on the PGA Tour. Additionally, he finished inside the top ten only three times. The sole highlight of the season was his career-best third-place finish at the Masters Tournament..
