Major Wins: 0
2024 Summary
If you could summarize Justin Thomas’ 2024 in one phrase it would be “A Resilient Return”. After a somewhat tumultuous 2023 season, where he struggled with consistency and dealing with the pressure of trying to get back to his best, Thomas bounced back in 2024 with renewed focus and impressive resiliency. In 2023 he only had four top 10s, no runner-up finishes, and missed the cut six times in 21 events played. In 2024 he had six top 10s, including one runner-up finish, and missed the cut four times in 20 events played. Certainly still not at his absolute best, but certainly an improvement. His ball striking improved significantly in 2024 as well. In 2023 he was 18th tee to green and 39th in approach play. In 2024 he was fifth tee to green and ninth in approach play. Where he’ll certainly need to improve is in his putting. Thomas was 174th in putting in 2024. He likely would’ve been in contention a lot more if he was even a little better in that area. Thomas is currently the 20th-ranked player in the official world golf rankings.
2025 Prediction
If Thomas can continue on this trajectory of improvement, he can definitely get back into the winner’s circle in 2025. He’ll also need to find something in his putting. It just isn’t anywhere near where a top player in the world should be. Even getting back into the top 100 in strokes gained would put him in contention in more events. He was 135th in 2023 and 174th in 2024. Adversely in 2022, when he last won, he was 85th in putting. He also only missed the cut just twice and won the PGA Championship. With 2025 being a Ryder Cup year, Thomas should have even more motivation to play well. He thrives in team events and I’m sure he’ll do anything to prove he belongs on the roster. The prediction for Justin Thomas’ 2025 is one+ total wins, contends in at least one Major, likely the PGA Championship, is a Captain’s Pick for the U.S. Ryder Cup team, and finishes the year in the top 20 in the official world golf rankings.
