Dodgers Playoff Run Fueling PGA Tour Star Halfway Around the World

PGA Tour star Max Homa is balancing his own tournament ambitions with a deep emotional connection to his hometown Los Angeles Dodgers, who are pushing toward a third straight World Series appearance. The six-time tour winner, currently competing in the Baycurrent Classic in Yokohama, Japan, has been following the Dodgers’ postseason run despite the 16-hour time difference.

With the team advancing to the National League Championship Series after a four-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves on October 7, Homa—who grew up in Burbank and attended Cal Berkeley—has found a way to stay plugged in. He watches Dodgers games in the morning before teeing off, even catching recent action on his phone while warming up on the practice green.

His strong start in Japan, with rounds of 65 and 68, suggests the team’s success may be fueling his own form as he eyes his first PGA Tour victory since 2023.
