Finishing solo for the second Sunday at The American Express, Justin Thomas recorded his best result since winning the 2022 PGA Championship.
Thomas’ $959,200 payday also pushed him into rare company.
Thomas became just the 11th player in PGA Tour history to surpass $60 million in on-course earnings, moving up to 10th on the career earnings list and pushing Matt Kuchar to 11th place.
Here’s what a $60 million club looks like:
1. Tiger Woods – $120,999,166
2. Rory McIlroy, $90,989,348
3. Scottie Scheffler, $71,793,586
4. Jim Furyk, $71,507,269
5. Vijay Singh, $71,281,216
6. Adam Scott, $68,248,165
7. Justin Rose, $64,878,042
8. Jordan Spieth, $62,741,970
9. Jason Day – $61,731,563
10. Justin Thomas, $60,827,898
11. Matt Kuchar, $60,335,682
Thomas returned to the Tour Championship last season after missing the 2023 FedExCup Playoffs entirely. He finished last year with three top-10 finishes, including a T-2 in the Zozo Championship and a solo third place in the Hero World Challenge, before opening the new season with a T-26 in The Sentry.
On Sunday at PGA West, Thomas bowed out at 5-under 31 before stopping with one birdie on the back nine and ultimately two shots behind winner Sepp Straka.
“Just keep doing what I’m doing. I don’t have to change anything or do anything different, just build, work, improve things,” Thomas said. “I feel like my wedge play isn’t even close to where I like it. So yeah, just keep perfecting it and working on it, because there’s a big milestone coming up that I’m excited about.
