Max Homa Hires Friend Peter Pappageorge as Caddie for Colonial

Following his split with Lance Bennett after the PGA Championship, Homa’s ad hoc hire aims to stop a season-long slide threatening his ranking and major exemptions.

Overview

  • On May 27, multiple reports said Homa registered Peter Pappageorge to carry his bag for the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club.
  • Homa parted ways with veteran caddie Lance Bennett after missing the cut at the PGA Championship, according to Golfweek and other outlets.
  • Pappageorge is a close personal friend who has no established professional caddie résumé and stepped in on short notice for this tournament.
  • The change is the latest in a string of personnel and equipment moves since Homa split with longtime caddie Joe Greiner in April 2025, including driver and swing-coach adjustments.
  • Homa’s recent stats show missed cuts, weak strokes-gained numbers and a falling world ranking, raising concern that continued poor form could jeopardize exemptions and his place in upcoming events such as the Memorial and U.S. Open.
