Justin Thomas will be the first person to admit that he should have more major championship wins on his resume.

Few people can match the former world number one when at his best, and during the 2024 season, there were even glimpses of the American’s former glory.

Thomas’ putter caught fire at the Scottish Open, and he also led for a short period at the Open Championship.

Furthermore, during the FedEx Cup fall, Thomas impressed on his two outings coming at the ZOZO Championship and Hero World Challenge.

Justin Thomas’ major admission

Despite knocking off two majors, Thomas’ record in the four most significant events of the year is surprisingly disappointing.

The 31-year-old’s best finish at the Masters was fourth in 2020. That same year, Thomas also placed in the top ten at the US Open, which was his highest finish in the year’s most challenging major.

At the Open, the American’s best outing was a T11 finish at Royal Portrush in 2019. Clearly, there’s work to do outside of the PGA Championship, which Thomas has won twice.

Nevertheless, the American still harbours ambitions of adding at least another eight majors to his record before his career comes to a close.

Journalist Dan Rapaport asked Thomas in a recent Instagram clip, “You’re in the two-major club; how many majors would you be satisfied with at the end of your career?”

Thomas replied: “I mean, I’d say at least ten.”

Thomas has been grinding hard on his game during the off-season, and the signs are certainly positive heading into the new year.

And, with the upcoming major venues potentially well-suited to his game, Smylie Kaufman believes Thomas’ three-year wait for major number three could be about to end.

“Dude, I think JT is going to pick off a major this year. Just think about the venues,” Kaufman said.

“Right now, that driver sets up his game so much. When you go from being a top 25 driver as far as distance goes, and you show up to a major championship, and now you have a weapon.

“It’s like Rory McIlroy; it sets up your game. JT’s Iron game has always been elite; his short game is elite. Don’t let the stats fool you from the Sunday round. He’s going to get plenty of ups and downs and chip-ins.”
