Homa began by defending his title at the Fortinet Championship before placing T20 at the Shriners Children's Open, T23 at the ZOZO Championship, 17th at the Hero World Challenge, T3 at the Sentry Tournament of Champions and then winning the Farmers Insurance Open.
The 32-year-old maintained his level of play in his subsequent seven tournaments by finishing 2nd at the Genesis Invitational, T14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T6 at the Players Championship and T9 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play.
The seventh-world-ranked golfer placed T21 at this event last year.

His subsequent seven starts have been decent, with his best results being T27 at the Players Championship, T17 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play and T29 at the Masters.
The 27-year-old has featured once at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, finishing T64 in 2016.

The 20-year-old's form has dipped since those performances on the golf course, with his best results being T34 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, T31 at the WGC Dell Technologies Match Play and T16 at the Masters in seven starts.
The Korean makes his first appearance at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Sahith Theegala and Justin Suh
Sahith Theegala has had a busy schedule in 2023, achieving top results along the way by placing T6 at the Fortinet Championship, T5 at the ZOZO Championship, T2 at the RSM Classic, T4 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T6 at the Genesis Invitational, T14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, 9th at the Masters and T5 at the RBC Heritage in 15 appearances on the PGA Tour this season.
The 25-year-old American missed the cut at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans last year.
Justin Suh struggled with his form on the PGA Tour at the start of the season, with results of MC, MC, MC, T29, T48, T47, 66th, T41, and T54 before regaining his touch by placing T20 at the Farmers Insurance Open, T40 at the Genesis Invitational, T5 at the Honda Classic, T24 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and T6 at the Players Championship.
His subsequent three starts have been average, finishing T45 at the Valspar Championship, T31 WGC Dell Technologies Match Play and 73rd at the RBC Heritage.
The former world number one amateur makes his debut at this tournament this weekend.
The Format
The Zurich Classic of New Orleans is played over four days, comprising 80 teams of two.
The cut is the top 33 teams plus ties after 36 holes.
Teams play fourball for rounds one and three, where the players each play their own ball for the duration of the round, with the best score on each hole recorded.
Teams play foursomes for rounds two and four, where players rotate tee shots (one player will tee off on even-numbered holes and the other on odd-numbered holes) and strokes.
Player A will tee off, with Player B taking the next shot etc., until the completion of the hole. The total strokes taken between the team will be the team's score for that hole.
Verdict
Morikawa and Homa are in great touch and have the form to win the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.
Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim are a solid duo and will fancy their chances for glory in Louisiana.
Theegala and Suh have performed well this season and offer excellent value in New Orleans this weekend.
