While the FedEx St. Jude Championship unfolded in Memphis without big names like Rory McIlroy, another notable absence was Max Homa.Unlike McIlroy, who skipped the event due to playoff strategy, Homa didn't qualify for the event. But the PGA Tour pro fulfilled his most important role as a dad and husband.On Friday, Homa announced the arrival of his second child, Austin Homa, via Instagram."Austin Homa! 8/4/25. My wife is a rockstar, and Austin is very unsure of Cam (rightfully so). Our hearts are so full 💙," he captioned his Instagram post, sharing some heartwarming pictures of his wife Lacey, their newborn, and their first son, Cam.The six-time PGA Tour winner had revealed the pregnancy back in April, during the Masters Tournament, where he and Lacey posed in front of Augusta National holding a miniature caddie jumpsuit for Austin. On Friday, the snaps had all four happy faces.Homa met Lacey online in 2013, and the couple married in November 2019. Their relationship has been a steady presence in his life, often featured in his social media posts and interviews.He's praised his wife's resilience and warmth, especially during Cam's complicated birth, which involved multiple surgeries and an extended ICU stay.Not only this, but on Mother's Day this year, Homa expressed his love again, typing, "Happy Mother's Day @lacehoma you are truly amazing and I am impressed every day. We are so lucky to have u in our lives," on Instagram.With Austin's arrival, Homa joins the growing club of PGA Tour dads with two children, including players like Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas.Though he missed qualifying for the FedExCup Playoffs, finishing 111th in the standings, Homa's priorities were clear."I need to win. I really need to win because my wife's pregnant and I need to go home," he told reporters during the 3M Open. "We have like two weeks left. It's a little extra stressful, but I think the only way that you can go out and win a golf tournament is by not exactly trying to win a golf tournament. So it's a weird headspace."Homa's next scheduled appearance is expected at the Fortinet Championship in September. It's a familiar venue for him. Homa won there in 2021 and 2022, and it could mark his return to competition. But for now, though, the leaderboard can wait. Max Homa is winning at life.More Golf: FedEx Cup Playoffs: Russell Henley Splashes Barefoot Shot to Avoid Bogey
