PGA Tour winner Max Homa shared an endearing encounter with a fan at a Chick-fil-A drive-thru, where the fan paid for his meal because he is her son’s favorite golfer. Homa mentioned the kind gesture during a press conference ahead of the RBC Heritage tournament in South Carolina. He recalled how the woman paid for his meal and also mentioned treating himself to pizza, which he rarely eats due to cheese not sitting well with him. The golfer expressed his gratitude for the gesture and reflected on feeling fortunate for the kindness people have shown him just because he plays golf.
During the press conference, Homa elaborated on the encounter at the drive-thru, explaining that he was alone in his car when the person taking his order informed him that the woman in the row next to him had paid for his meal. The woman reportedly said that her three or four-year-old son is a big fan of Homa, prompting her to pay for his order. Homa expressed his gratitude for such gestures and mentioned that he still pinches himself at times due to the kindness he receives from fans and strangers alike, simply for being a professional golfer. The golfer has recently enjoyed success at the Masters and other major tournaments, finishing T3 at Augusta National and earning a significant prize.
Despite his recent success on the golf course and the financial rewards that come with it, Homa remained humble and appreciative of the kindness shown to him by the woman at the Chick-fil-A drive-thru. The reporter inquired about Homa potentially not needing the free meal, given his recent earnings at the Masters, to which Homa responded by expressing his gratitude for the gesture and the kindness of people who support him. The golfer emphasized his feelings of fortune for being able to play golf professionally and acknowledged the generosity of fans and strangers, regardless of his success on the course.
Following the heartwarming encounter at the Chick-fil-A drive-thru, Homa participated in the Heritage Classic tournament where he is currently positioned in T55 after the first round. The golfer continues to showcase his talent on the course and his gratitude for the support he receives from fans and strangers alike.
