MAX Homa’s golf journey has been a slow but steady rise, as he moved from playing high school, college, and amateur golf to being ranked, as of April 2024, the 11th best professional golfer in the world.
As Max Homa’s star power continues to grow, golf fans and enthusiasts alike want to learn more about his personal life, including his wife, Lacey Homa.

However, the happy couple announced that they were expecting a baby boy on April 25, 2022, via photos posted on Instagram from a gender reveal party.

Cam was born on October 30, 2022.
“Cam Andrew Homa 10/30/2022,” the doting dad captioned the post.
“He is healthy, peaceful, and happy.”
Homa did reveal, however, that Lacey did not have an easy labor and delivery with their son.
“Full transparency, Lacey had some complications and had to have multiple surgeries. She spent quite a bit of time in the ICU.”
“Fortunately, she was released to the postpartum room earlier today and finally got to be with me and reunited with Cam

“We are so happy and on the long road to recovery. Thank u to everyone who has reached out to help. It means the world to us. We are already so in love with him
”
“P.S. My wife is a freaking super hero and I’ve truly never been more proud and impressed @lacehoma,” he added.
In January 2023, Lacey and Cam even went viral while cheering on Homa at the Farmers Insurance Open.
“No babies were harmed during this celebratory moment,” Lacey captioned the video, alongside a warning and crying laughing emojis.
Homa also posted a sweet tribute to Lacey on her first Mother’s Day in May 2023.
“Happy first Mother’s Day to the strongest, most loving person I could imagine!”
“U impress me every day. If Cam could talk I think he’d ask for some food, but right after that he’d say how lucky he is to have such an amazing woman he gets to call Mom.”
“Thank u so much for bringing this little man into the world.”
“He makes every day brighter and I love u both so much. I’m proud of u @lacehoma ,” he captioned the post.
