Amidst the uncertainty surrounding the final roster of Team USA for the Ryder Cup, Justin Thomas’ commitment to the Fortinet Championship could symbolize the closing chapter of his Ryder Cup aspirations.

The timing aligns with the conclusion of his bid for the coveted spot in Team USA, and his participation in this event might serve as a last-ditch effort to showcase his capabilities, more for self-respect than anything else.

His commitment to improve is proof to his dedication to elevating his game to its peak, despite bidding adieu to his hopes of representing Team USA in this year’s Ryder Cup in Rome.
