Justin Thomas has been very busy in 2025 so far, balancing his time between the PGA Tour and TGL.
Thomas could get a Ryder Cup captain’s pick, with the next edition of the team tournament arriving in September.
Bethpage Black plays host to the 2025 Ryder Cup, where Thomas is likely desperate to want to be involved under captain Keegan Bradley.
But for now he must continue working hard on the PGA Tour, with the Arnold Palmer Invitational next up for the American.
Thomas has been impressed by Ludvig Aberg at TGL, but both now turn their focus from the SoFi Center to Bay Hill.

The former has, however, also been checking in on the LPGA Tour, and in particular world number one Nelly Korda.
She posted a video of herself on the range in disastrous conditions, writing the caption: “This is some British Open weather.”

Korda’s sister and fellow professional golfer Jessica Korda commented: “Go home,” to which she replied: “Yes coach.”
And there was also a jokey message from PGA Tour star Thomas, who wrote: “F** Nelly… We play golf for a living. Go inside.”

It is another big year for world number one Korda, who emulated men’s number one Scottie Scheffler in 2024.
Both players won seven titles, and both have made promising starts to their new seasons on the LPGA Tour and PGA Tour respectively.
Thomas meanwhile will make his sixth appearance of the season at the Arnold Palmer Invitational this week.
He already has a runner-up finish to his name with his solo second spot at The American Express, with two more top 10 finishes in his last two events.
The 31-year-old secured a T6 place at the WM Phoenix Open, before finishing T9 at the Genesis Invitational.
Thomas will now be eager to take that momentum into Bay Hill, where nine of the top 10 players in the world rankings are involved.
