We are ranking the top 20 TV commercials featuring current or former Cal athletes. The rankings are based primarily on the appeal of the ads, but the number of commercials involving a particular Cal athlete is given some weight as well.
Cal alumus Max Homa is experiencing a bit of a slump on the PGA Tour at the moment, but at least he made the cut at this week’s PGA Championship and even had a second-round score of 64. But not long ago he was ranked No. 5 in the world, and his clever Twitter posts and engaging personality made him one of the most popular golfers in the world.
He has across-the-board appeal, which is why he could do commercials for such varies subjects as whale watching, BMW and golf shoes.
The thoughtful Max Homa can do a commercial about whales in Hawaii and the importance of the sanctuary. That commercial can be seen here.

But the real Max Homa – and the reason he is No. 12 on our list – is the one who can do a rather outlandish TV commercial for a golf shoe. This is the Max Homa we like best.
