2017 PGA Championship: Breakthrough at Quail Hollow
Justin Thomas won his first major at Quail Hollow Club in Charlotte — a course he knew well from the Wells Fargo Championship on tour. He posted a final score of -8, winning by two shots in what was a dominant display of precision iron play and clutch putting.
Thomas was 24 years old at the time, part of golf's exciting "Next Gen" alongside Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy. His win demonstrated that he was more than just a tour specialist — he had the game and the nerve for majors.
2022 PGA Championship: Comeback at Southern Hills
Thomas's second major was one of the great comeback victories in PGA Championship history. Entering the final round well off the pace, he shot a closing 67 at Southern Hills to join Will Zalatoris in a playoff. In the three-hole aggregate playoff, Thomas played the holes in better-than-even to claim his second Wanamaker Trophy.
The 2022 win was particularly memorable because it denied Jordan Spieth — who also had a chance to win and finally complete his Career Grand Slam with a PGA Championship — his long-awaited fourth major. Thomas and Spieth are close friends, making the rivalry bittersweet.
JT's Place in His Generation
Justin Thomas won the 2017 FedEx Cup and has been consistently ranked among the world's top 10 players for most of his career. His two PGA Championships place him alongside some elite company, but the other three majors remain elusive. At Augusta, he has posted multiple top-10s without contending on Sunday.
