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.

Rich Strike should be retired immediately following the Kentucky Derby win

If I was Rich Strike's owner right now, you just gotta retire this horse. You gotta be like, I'm going out on top. It should just be put out to stud for the rest of its career. Never let it raise again because you're never going to reach—Rich Strike is not going to become the new Secretariat.

Rich Strike did not retire; he continued racing but never won another race, finishing his career with a string of losses before retiring in 2023.

Rich Strike's 80-1 win saves the sport of horse racing

Wouldn't it be perfect if you have an 80 to one a shot that like everyone's going to look at and be like $30,000, we could have bought this horse. I guarantee everyone was saying that after. I think they're gonna, if there is something wrong here, they're just going to sweep it under the rug because it's the greatest story ever. So it's going to save horse racing this year.

A single race outcome's ability to 'save' a sport is inherently subjective.

Rich Strike will not win the Preakness

Rich Strike is a dog. Hold on. Horse racing needs a bad boy... but he's not going to win the Preakness. So it will be, it will go away quickly.

Rich Strike did not win the Preakness because the owner chose to skip the race entirely to rest for the Belmont Stakes.

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.
