This is going to be an exciting journey! Our team   looked into detailed sources from Sportskeeda  and Essentially Sports, uncovering all the key   moments of Justin's career. We’ve got the inside  scoop and stories you won’t want to miss!   Let’s Begin with his Recent Struggles:  Is His Golf Career in Trouble?   He has faced significant challenges. Despite  being a central figure in discussions early on,   his performance has taken a sharp downturn. For  years, Thomas was among the top golfers globally,   known for his exceptional ball-striking skills.  However, it's now been over eight hundred days   since his last PGA Tour victory, raising questions  about the longevity of success in modern golf.   Historically, a select few golfers have  consistently excelled at the highest levels   across generations. He seemed destined to  join their ranks. His golfing pedigree is   impressive—his grandfather competed in PGA  Championships and a U.S. Open alongside   legends like Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer,  and his father, Mike Thomas, also pursued a   career in golf. Growing up in Kentucky in the  nineteen-nineties, he showed extraordinary promise   from a young age, surpassing the achievements  of previous generations in his family.   He won numerous youth tournaments, even  impressing Michael Jordan when he was just   thirteen. By the time he was sixteen, he became  the third-youngest golfer in history to make the   cut at a PGA Tour event during the two thousand  nine Wyndham Championship. After high school,   he continued his rise at the University  of Alabama, where he won the Haskins Award   as the most outstanding collegiate golfer in  his freshman year and helped his team secure   Alabama's first national golf championship in two  thousand thirteen. He then turned professional,   earning his PGA Tour card after a strong  performance on the Web.com Tour.   In What Ways Did Justin’s Career Progress  Differ from Jordan Spieth's Early Successes?   Although his early professional career  wasn't as flashy as that of his contemporary,   Jordan Spieth, who quickly made a name for himself  by winning the PGA Tour Rookie of the Year award,   he steadily climbed the ranks. However, with many  new talents emerging on the tour, Justin's early   successes are now often overshadowed. It's clear that his early years were often   overshadowed by Jordan Spieth. Despite  being friends since their junior golf days,   the comparisons between the two have been  inevitable, especially with Spieth's early   dominance in the golf world. In his early years on tour,   he showed promise, but as his career progressed,  the narrative shifted. During his debut season,   the same year Jordan Spieth nearly clinched the  Grand Slam, he secured seven top-ten finishes   out of twenty-seven starts—a solid, though not  extraordinary, performance. It hinted at the   talent that would define his career. Thomas  earned his first tour victory at the start of   the two thousand fifteen to sixteen season, and  while he continued to show potential with seven   more top-ten finishes, he also missed six  cuts. He earned four million US dollars in   prize money that year, solidifying his place  on the tour, though he wasn't dominating like   Tiger Woods or Scottie Scheffler. His breakthrough came during the two   thousand sixteen to seventeen season. From October  to January, he secured three wins and two more   top-ten finishes in just six events—a rare  streak in today's game. Although these weren't   major championships, he would eventually win one.  That season, however, wasn't all smooth sailing.   He tied for twenty-second at the Masters, ninth  at the U.S. Open, and missed the cut at The Open   Championship. Despite some stellar performances,  he couldn't secure a win after January, while his   friend Jordan Spieth claimed The Open Championship  and continued to grab headlines. By the time they   entered the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow,  Spieth was ranked second in the world, while he   was fourteenth, despite being the same age. Why did Justin have trouble staying consistent   despite his big tournament wins? That year, he seized the opportunity at   the PGA Championship, winning his first major  while many big names, like Phil Mickelson and   Rory McIlroy, faltered. His victory, marked by  impressive rounds, finally gave him bragging   rights over Spieth. By the end of the year, he  was right behind Spieth in the world rankings,   closely trailing Dustin Johnson and positioned  to take over the top spot. As the tour's money   leader that season, he was on the cusp  of becoming the best in the world.   He won another tournament three weeks after  Quail Hollow and secured second place at the   Tour Championship, earning the PGA Player of  the Year award. However, despite his success,   it’s important to note that he was not  consistently dominant. With six missed cuts   that year, he was a hit-or-miss player, a trend  that continued as he became the world number one   several times in the following years. In two thousand eighteen, he had a strong   year with three wins and double-digit top-ten  finishes for the second year in a row. However,   he was less impressive in the majors, with a  tie for sixth finish at the PGA Championship   being his best result. Despite moments of  brilliance, his inconsistency showed, such as   missing the cut at The Open Championship after  following a strong round with a poor one.   The following season was similar—brilliant  moments like going 17-under through three   rounds at the Genesis Open were overshadowed by  disappointing performances, including a four-over   final round that cost him the win. Thomas  missed more cuts that year but ended on a   high note by winning the BMW Championship and  finishing third at the Tour Championship.   Why Has Justin Thomas Been  Struggling to Win More Titles?   By the end of two thousand nineteen, he was a  household name and one of the most well-known   players on tour. However, he wasn’t dominating the  tour like Rory McIlroy in two thousand fourteen or   Jordan Spieth in two thousand fifteen. While he  could beat anyone on his best day, finding that   day at the right time was challenging. Some  speculate it’s due to his swing or mentality,   but the exact reason is unclear. In two thousand twenty, he inconsistency   continued. He won the Sentry Tournament of  Champions in January, missed the cut at the   Sony Open a week later, finished third at the  Waste Management Phoenix Open in February,   and missed the cut again at the  Genesis Invitational. This pattern of   inconsistency persisted throughout his career. In the two thousand twenty-two PGA Championship,   despite four rounds of solid golf from Will  Zalatoris, he staged an incredible comeback   on Sunday, erasing a seven-stroke deficit to force  a playoff, which he won to claim his second major.   It was his first win of the season and his  last to date. So why hasn’t he won since then?   And why have we seen less of him? Comparing his numbers from this season to 2019   shows slight declines in most areas of his game,  although his play around the green has improved.   His iron play, however, is not as sharp as it  used to be. While the changes aren’t drastic,   they are noticeable. He’s reportedly been dealing  with a nagging hip injury for about a year,   and while some speculate that getting married  changed his priorities, that’s debatable.   Even today, we see glimpses of the game that  earned him those trophies, like his first round   at Royal Troon during The Open this year or  his 8th place finish at the PGA Championship.   It’s also worth noting that the competition is  tougher now, with many talented golfers making   it harder to win consistently. Wow, what a journey through Justin   Thomas's career! From his impressive early  victories to the challenges he's faced,   it’s clear that his story is far from over.
