Justin Thomas is going into his 11th season on the PGA Tour next year and is very much considered one of the pillars of the TOUR right now.

Thomas is a two-time major champion having won the PGA Championship twice and after landing his tour card for the 2015 season, he’s never looked back.

The American has become a key figure and big name on the PGA Tour, while he’s also featured regularly in Ryder Cups and more.

However, like most of the senior players on TOUR, Thomas has to watch on as the latest crop of talent make their way from the Korn Ferry Tour into the PGA ranks.

And after seeing things wrap up over the weekend on the Korn Ferry, Thomas has now sent a heartfelt message to those who made it.

Moving from the Korn Ferry Tour to the PGA Tour is a big step and some will sink and some will swim.

Like in any sport, the move from the little leagues to the big leagues can be tough and Thomas knows full well how hard the transition can be.

Still, Thomas did have success early on and he won the CIMB Classic in both 2015 and 2016, before winning five times in 2017 to really cement himself as a key man.

Now, over on social media, Thomas has posted a reflective message to those 20 new players making the grade.

The 20 players who have earned a PGA Tour card via the Korn Ferry Tour

Some of the names in the 20 who are going to be making appearances on the PGA Tour next year are quite recognisable.

The likes of Neal Shipley and Christo Lamprecht are already fairly well known names, while those who follow the Korn Ferry scene will know about Chandler Blanchet and him finally getting his card at the fourth attempt.

For the rest, it’s a case now of putting themselves to the test against the very best the world has to offer and seeing if they can make a career of things.

The hard work is still to come for these young players but if what we’ve seen in recent years is anything to go by, many will adapt with ease, forcing some of the more recognizable names from years gone by to fight hard for their spot.
