Max Homa and his caddie of many years, his childhood friend Joe Greiner, have decided to end their professional relationship.
At the Valero Texas Open on Thursday, Homa appeared with veteran caddie Bill Harke carrying his bag.
`Joe and I created unforgettable memories, and I am incredibly grateful for all his dedication,` Homa stated on Thursday in a statement to PGATour.com.
`We have decided to go our separate ways, and it is with sadness that I see him leave. I will forever cherish the time spent on the course with one of my closest friends.`
Homa, 34, experienced a rise to stardom on the PGA Tour, achieving six victories between 2019 and 2023. He reached a world ranking as high as No. 5 and tied for third at last year`s Masters, but his performance has declined in the past year.
Homa`s current ranking is No. 78 in the Official World Golf Ranking, and he has missed the cut in his last four tournaments. His best result this year is a tie for 26th place.
The Texas Open is the last tournament before the Masters next week, the season`s first major championship. Homa had a difficult start on Thursday, recording a 4-over 76 in the first round.
