I'm the freshest person in the Masters field

I am the freshest person here. I have not played a weekend in over like a month and a half and I, I have been getting more rest, more time on my couch. Like all these guys are gonna be exhausted by the time the tournament comes and I'm just cruising on it.

Subjective spin on his own physical state, though his missed cuts are factual.

I know now that my great golf is good enough to win a major

I know for a fact my great golf's good enough. It just needs to come out the right week. So let's just hope it's this week. It's a big difference. It's, it's a little bit more calming knowing that like, it doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be good. I've done that enough times to know. I think it would be the pressure on Sunday, that would be the most unique thing. But as far as the golf goes, like I think fortunately I've lived enough of this golf, these golf like experiences to know like I can physically do what needs to be done.

Homa followed this up with a T3 finish at the 2024 Masters, his best major finish to date, proving he can contend.

It would be crazy if I didn't get a Ryder Cup pick

I've been in the getting a pick category this whole time. I felt like last week, last week solidified it. Where now I think it would be crazy if I didn't.

Homa was indeed selected for the 2023 US Ryder Cup team.

Cal should join the Big 10

Pitch me on Cal coming to the Big 10... would you like a couple easy wins? You like to expand your fan base to the West coast... we could help you guys change your name to Big 10 to big however many actual teams there are.

Cal ultimately joined the ACC, not the Big 10.

My struggles in Majors are due to being too anxious and trying too hard

I can just tell I'm like more anxious, trying too hard... it's not a mental block. It's like I know what I'm doing but I just feel more like high strung, more wound up instead of just playing golf.

This is a personal psychological insight from the athlete himself.

Expected rain at the Masters will lead to low scores and lots of birdies

I saw a lot of rain next week, so you guys might have a tough week there. I think it'll be soft, so might be a lot of birdies. Big hole. I think 13 always plays, they changed it a little bit this year, but that one always seems to be really important... I think there might be [low scores].

The 2023 Masters was plagued by rain delays, but Jon Rahm won with -12, which is a fairly standard winning score for Augusta, not an outlier of low scoring.

The Masters and The Open are the two tournaments I want to win most

The Masters is special... that in the open are my two favorite events... that would be, that would be definitely way up on that list.

Kyrie Irving would not have fixed the Lakers because they aren't just one piece away

Was [Kyrie] gonna fucking fix us? I don't think we're one piece away here. So no it wasn't super devastating.

The Lakers did perform better after the trade deadline (without Kyrie), making the WCF, supporting the idea that depth was the issue.

Charlie Woods is going to be better than Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Max Homa combined

[Big Cat]: Charlie's next up he's gonna come and beat your brains in... [PFT]: Charlie Woods is gonna be better than Tiger... better than Tiger and Jack combined. [Big Cat]: Better than you. [Max Homa]: Done. You'll just be gone. Which is actually pretty exciting and we'll caddy for him.

This is a massive projection for a 13-year-old. Tiger has 15 majors; beating that is statistically unlikely.

You don't need to be the best at every area of the game to be successful in golf

You absolutely do not need to be the best at every area of the game to be successful. So I'm chasing something that I, I know like that that was unattainable to be that good at, honestly. But besides Tiger Tiger's the only person in history that's been the best at like four to five things in golf.

This philosophy has proven successful for Max, as shown by his rise to #12 in the world.

Having a baby will give me 'dad strength' to win a major

I've I've, I've heard that. That is in a big part of momentum. And also I've heard a lot of guys see, you get dad strength for a little bit. So maybe at Augusta I'll just be bombing it. Outta nowhere. So I'm looking forward to the, to the perspective I will gain. And the dad strength. I think that those are the things I've been missing in the majors.

As of early 2024, Homa has not yet won a major, though his performance in them has improved (e.g., T10 at the 2023 Open).

Winning tournaments when no one is watching is my MO

I fly way, way, way under the radar. I'm glad this tournament didn't sound like a video game... I saw the Derby yesterday. Everyone's very, very focused on other things other than the golf. And that's, I feel like when I'm the most, most powerful.

Homa's 2021 Genesis win (Tiger Woods hosting) and 2022 Wells Fargo (Derby weekend) both occurred during major sports news cycles.

I am 100% guaranteed to make the cut at the 2022 Masters

The only thing that's made me nervous is for the first time in my life, I've kind of laid my nuts on the table and said I'm going to do something... I texted you that I was a 100% making the cut.

Max Homa finished T48 at the 2022 Masters, successfully making the cut.

I can win the Masters this year

I think I have a better chance than I did last year... I think we're climbing. We're definitely trending... I can win the Masters. It's definitely possible. I'm going to try super hard.

Max Homa did not win the Masters in 2021 (Hideki Matsuyama won).

Bryson DeChambeau's 48-inch driver is cheating

I've never even tried 48 inch driver, but I would be lying if I said Bryson's not making me like kind of considering... sounds like it's cheating. I think it's cheating. [Big Cat: We decided it is cheating.] I'm a third party so that's not you as the fans can decide.

The USGA eventually implemented a local rule (MLR G-10) in 2022 that limited club length to 46 inches, effectively agreeing with the sentiment that 48 was 'too much'.
