Max Homa and his wife, Lacey Homa, used one of the most iconic settings in golf to announce some big news about their family.
“Baby no. 2 coming soon! 😁,” Max, 34, shared via Instagram on Tuesday, April 8.
In the post, Max posed with Lacey, 33, and their 2-year-old son, Cam, in front of the clubhouse at Augusta National golf course in Augusta, Georgia, home of The Masters. This year’s Masters tournament, which will be Max’s 6th, begins on Thursday, April 10.
Members of the golf community congratulated the couple — who got married in November 2019 — on the announcement.
“Awwww congrats you guys!!!” golfer Michelle Wie West commented on Max’s post. PGA star Min Woo Lee wrote, “Amazing. Congrats 🤩.”
Max and Lacey welcomed Cam, their first child, in October 2022. The day after Cam arrived, Max explained that his birth was not without its difficulties.
“Full transparency, Lacey had some complications and had to have multiple surgeries,” Max shared via Instagram. “She spent quite a bit of time in the ICU. Fortunately, she was released to the postpartum room earlier today and finally got to be with me and reunited with Cam😊.”
He added, “We are so happy and on the long road to recovery. Thank u to everyone who has reached out to help. It means the world to us. We are already so in love with him 💙. P.S. My wife is a freaking super hero and I’ve truly never been more proud and impressed.”
To celebrate Lacey’s birthday in April 2023, Max remarked on “what a year it has been!”
“We had a kid, you’ve become a Tik Toker, and you’re incredibly pretty (that part hasn’t changed but I enjoy reminding u),” Max wrote via Instagram. “U are the best mom, wife, and best friend and we are all so lucky to have u around. I wish I was home to celebrate this birthday with u, but don’t worry I called Cam and told him to do the laundry and cook dinner for u! Love u 🫶🏼.”
On the golf side of things, Max’s baby news comes in the midst of an emotional year for the six-time PGA Tour champion. Last week, Max announced he had split from his longtime caddie and friend Joe Greiner.
The decision came shortly after Max missed the cut at the Players’ Championship in March, where he became emotional when discussing his lack of success on the course recently.
“I know how hard I work, I know how much I care, so it just feels s****y,” Max told reporters.“I know people probably love this, and some people probably hate it for me, but people like to laugh when people aren’t doing well. I would laugh at that, because I just don’t know what more I could be doing at the moment.”
He added, “The way I work, I feel like I deserve to be the best player in the world at some point. I know that sounds crazy, but that’s how I approach each day, is to be the best at it and I’m going [in] the complete opposite direction. It’s hard to care this much about something and just not get anything out of it. It’s like you’re in a very toxic relationship. I might be the toxic one, but it’s still toxic.”
