Justin Thomas, a former World No. 1 and two-time major champion, is determined to break his two-year winless streak as he begins the 2025 PGA Tour season. The American golfer is set to compete at The Sentry Tournament of Champions in Kapalua, Hawaii, bringing with him a renewed focus and a commitment to returning to top form.
Refining his game for 2025
Thomas endured a challenging 2024 season, finishing without a victory despite posting six top-10 finishes across 20 events. His standout performances included a 3rd-place finish at The American Express and a 2nd-place showing at The Zozo Championship. Reflecting on the past year, Thomas admitted to having taken his early career success for granted but sees this new season as a chance to rediscover his winning edge.
A key motivator for Thomas in 2025 is reclaiming a spot on the U.S. Ryder Cup team, a goal he narrowly missed last year. To achieve this, he has spent the offseason honing his short game, particularly his putting, which he believes is critical to securing consistent victories. Additionally, Thomas has focused on physical conditioning and mental resilience, integrating new fitness regimens and mindfulness exercises to improve his performance under pressure.
Analysts suggest that a strong showing in Kapalua could set the tone for Thomas’ entire season. He will be competing alongside notable players such as Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott, adding to the anticipation surrounding his performance. Thomas has expressed confidence in his preparation, stating, “I know what I’m capable of, and I’m ready to prove it.”
As the 2025 PGA Tour season unfolds, all eyes will be on Thomas to see if he can reignite the spark that once made him a dominant force in professional golf. A victory at The Sentry would not only end his drought but also send a clear message that Justin Thomas is back.
