Justin Thomas was once one of the hottest young prodigies in the golfing world, now he’s won a slew of events on the PGA Tour and is one of the most respected and most popular American golfers in the game.

Ever since making his PGA Tour debut at the age of just 16-years-old, Justin Thomas has been one of the more prominent names in golf.

He really made a name for himself in 2017 when he won his first major, the PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte. Thomas must really love that competition, because he won it again in 2022.

Thomas is now one of the highest-paid golfers of all time, has enjoyed a stellar PGA Tour career and has also been part of several successful US Ryder Cup teams.

Justin Thomas age

Justin Thomas is currently 32-years-old. He was born on April 29, 1993, in Louisville, Kentucky, and graduated from St. Xavier High School.

Justin Thomas height

Thomas stands at 5ft10in tall. That means he isn’t one of the taller players on tour but he’s certainly not short, either.

Justin Thomas world ranking

At the time of writing, Justin Thomas is ranked 5th in the Official World Golf Ranking (OWGR). That’s a major climb in the past 12 months, as he was way down in 33rd at the end of the last PGA Tour season.

Thomas has previously held the number one spot on the OWGR back in May 2018. That came after eight wins in two years on the Tour, and being part of Team USA’s successful Ryder Cup campaign.

Thanks to a strong showing in 2025, Thomas has climbed his way back up the charts. He managed one win (at the RBC Heritage) and clocked up eight top 10 finishes this season to tie for 7th in the overall FedEx Cup rankings for 2025.

Justin Thomas net worth

It’s been reported that Thomas’ net worth is an estimated $60 million (via Hello!), with a large amount of his fortune amassed during his early days on the PGA Tour. However, there are some reports that put his net worth far lower, at around $45m.

At the time of writing, Thomas has officially won $70,601,520 in career earnings. Obviously, a lot of this will have been taxed, which would explain the lower net worth.

Justin Thomas PGA Tour stats

Thomas has a stellar PGA Tour record, recording 16 wins to date. The American’s most recent triumph came in the 2025 RBC Heritage. It took some doing, though. Thomas had to beat Andrew Novak in a play-off to clinch the title.

Other notable victories include the 2022 PGA Championship, the 2021 Players Championship, the 2019 BMW Championship, and five victories during the 2016/17 season, when he was crowned FedEx Cup Champion.

At the time of writing in October 2025, Thomas had played 261 events, making the cut in an impressive 214 of them. He’s been runner-up ten times, came third 13 times, and has 89 top 10 finishes.

Justin Thomas joined the Tour in 2015. But, he actually made his debut in 2009 at the Wyndham Championship at the age of 16. There, he became the third-youngest player to ever make the cut in a PGA Tour event.

Justin Thomas majors

Thomas has two major championship victories, both coming at the PGA Championship in 2017 and 2022.

In 2017, Thomas finished on -8, beating Francesco Molinari, Louis Oosthuizen, and Patrick Reed, who all finished on 6 under.

It took another play-off in 2022 for Thomas to reclaim the PGA Championship crown. He finished on 5 under, as did Will Zalatoris, but Thomas was victorious in the end.

Ryder Cup stats

Justin Thomas has been a mainstay in the Ryder Cup for Team USA over the last decade. His appearance in 2025 marked his fourth consecutive outing with the team, and he boasts a pretty impressive record in the competition, too.

He was Team USA’s leading points scorer on his debut in 2018, racking up a 4-1-0 record as his country took the victory.

Thomas was graceful in defeat in 2025, and can hold his head high having won his singles match against Tommy Fleetwood. Thomas now has a perfect 4-0-0 record in singles matches at the Ryder Cup.
