2024 was a whirlwind for a lot of players—some were on top, collecting trophies one after the other, while others faced disappointment. But hey, winning and losing is all part of the game. For Justin Thomas, it was just another chapter. His last victory came way back in May 2022 when he lifted the PGA Championship trophy. Since then? Well, let’s just say he’s been living in that frustrating land of “so close, yet so far.”

The 2024 season didn’t exactly go his way, but let’s not overlook the positives—JT still managed six top-10 finishes. Sure, it wasn’t the breakthrough year he’d hoped for, but pulling off those results in a winless season is no small feat.

Now, as we step into 2025, JT is hitting the reset button with fresh ambitions and a clean slate. He’s ready to tee off at the season opener, The Sentry, scheduled from January 2-5, 2025, at the Plantation Course in Kapalua, Maui. And of course, as soon as he landed in Hawaii, he took to social media to update his fans. “It’s 6:47 local time here in Hawaii. And I’m in bed. That is all Happy New Year to all!“ he wrote on his X handle.

Now, that sweet New Year wish from Thomas didn’t just give his followers a warm fuzz. It sparked a lot of chatter, with the golf community dissecting every word of his post. While some folks focused on the heartfelt Happy New Year wish, others couldn’t help but zoom in on one little detail: JT said he was “in bed.”

Fans taunt Thomas with his new update

“Boring routine, wishing u a crazy year ahead tho!” one fan quipped, poking fun at the low-energy vibe of his post. Another added, “Me I just traveled 16 hours tho and on 2 hours of sleep so im tired.” Honestly, who can’t relate to that? JT’s early bedtime probably had a lot to do with travel fatigue. Flying to Maui for The Sentry right after the holidays isn’t exactly a short trip, even for a pro.  Fair to say, that exhaustion is universal—celebrity or not.

Then there was the blunt jab. “old a**.” Now, JT is 31—not exactly ancient—but to some younger fans, being in bed before 7 p.m. might as well be a retirement plan. Still, with everything he’s got going on, both on and off the course, can we really blame him for cashing in on some extra rest?

And of course, someone had to say it: “C’mon JT…why would you brag about that?…” Okay, maybe bragging isn’t exactly what he was doing here, but the playful sarcasm is hard to ignore. Let’s be honest, calling it a night early in Hawaii doesn’t exactly scream “brag-worthy.” Maybe it’s just the dad life kicking in early.

Another fan summed it up perfectly saying, “Little tired?? Dad??” JT and his wife Jillian welcomed their first child in November 2024. The couple named their baby girl Molly Grace Thomas. Since then, JT’s life has likely revolved around sleepless nights and diaper changes—a reality all new parents know well. His post-baby routine could be influencing his early bedtime, and fans were quick to pick up on it.

So, while the golf community has plenty of opinions about JT’s early bedtime and dad-life vibes, the bigger picture here is clear: 2025 is here, and with it comes a fresh start for JT. There’s a lot of hope tied to Thomas this season—fans are ready to see him back in the winner’s circle, and maybe this is the year he finally delivers. New year, new chances, and hopefully, some big moments for JT ahead.
