Justin Thomas is currently competing at the 2022 Sentry Tournament of Champions and has won this event once in 2020. JT has had a poor start as he is -5 after round two. Meanwhile, Cameron Smith leads the event with a score of -17 and has a lead of three strokes going into the weekend. Currently, Saudi International is a hot topic. And at least one reporter does ask PGA Tour players about their views on this topic. Hence, during the pre-round press conference, a reporter questioned about not showing any interest in playing at Saudi International. So let us see what does Justin Thomas has to say on this.

However, he also wants to do as many great things as possible on the PGA Tour. “My goal is to win and do as many great things in the history of the game on the PGA Tour,” said JT [https://youtu.be/kC0iySgTxiU?t=335]. Moreover, just like Tiger Woods [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/], his primary focus will always be PGA Tour, and that’s where he wants to build a legacy. Thomas then explained his career goal on the PGA Tour. “A huge career goal of mine is to win both tours, the FedExCup, and the DP World Tour in the same season.” JT believes that’s a huge goal, and it would be a tremendous accomplishment if he achieves it. However, he feels they don’t have enough time to compete on the DP World Tour. “I think if we had the opportunity to maybe have some time off in the fall to where we could go play in some of the DP World events to build a little bit of a bankroll on that money list.” Read More – ‘Still Trying to Figure That Out’: Justin Thomas Makes an Honest Admission About Major Championships [https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-still-trying-to-figure-that-out-justin-thomas-makes-an-honest-admission-about-major-championships/] Meanwhile, he feels currently playing well on the PGA Tour is crucial. But JT says he would love to be able to play on both tours and not feel exhausted and have some advantage in the DP World Tour standings as well and get a chance to win the year-end championship.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Who is Justin Thomas?</b></h2>
Justin Louis Thomas is an American professional golfer. He says that watchingÂ Tiger WoodsÂ win at Valhalla at age seven motivated him to become a pro. Thomas went to college at the University of Alabama, where he helped the Crimson Tide win an NCAA championship. His success also brought him the Haskins Award as a freshman. He turned pro after his sophomore season.

Thomas was once ranked #1 on the OWGR leaderboard. His current caddie is Jim Mackay. Who stepped in after his 6-year partnership ended with Jimmy Johnson. Mackay is one of the most experienced caddies in the golf fraternity and has worked for over 25 years with PhilÂ <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/phil-mickelson/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mickelson</a>.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Early LifeÂ </b></h2>
Justin Thomas was born on April 29th, 1993, in Louisville, Kentucky, to Mike Thomas and Jani Thomas. It wouldn't be wrong to say that Thomas was born into a golfing family. His grandfather, Paul Thomas, was a pro who participated in the 1962 US Open. His father, Mike, was also a pro at Harmony Landing near Louisville.

Justin was introduced to the sport at a very young age, as he started visiting his father at the golf courses during his practice sessions along with his mother. The toddler soon started showing interest in golf and according to his father, he wanted to try to make some swings when he was merely 18 months old. As young Justin turned two, he started spending more time on the golf courses and started hitting balls and playing a few holes.

During his teenage years, Justin started playing competitive golf and also showcased immense promise, as a then-16-year-old Thomas secured the third position at the Wyndham Championship, which made him the third youngest golfer to make the cut in PGA Tour history.

&nbsp;
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Wife and Children</b></h2>
Justin Thomas married a fellow Kentuckian, Jillian Wisniewski. The couple dated for five years before the one-time major winner announced his engagement in November 2021 during an interview on the podcast <em>No Laying Up</em>. The happy <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-years-of-togetherness-and-counting-everything-to-know-about-justin-thomas-wife-jillian-wisniewski/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">couple walked down the aisle on November 2022</a>, in Franklin, Tennessee. Wisniewski graduated from the University of Kentucky with a BA in journalism. During her university days, she also worked at the Student Center and the school's TV department.

Currently, she works at McGarryBowen, an advertising agency based in Chicago. Thomas has always credited his wife with being one of the most crucial support systems in his life. She helped him get through the tough times and has also been vocal about the sacrifices she made for his golf career. The couple does not have any kids yet, but Thomas is surely a favorite uncle of his fellow golfers' toddlers.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Net Worth 2024 (Update)</b></h2>
According to Marca, Thomas will have an estimated net worth of<strong> $60 million</strong>. With official career earnings on the PGA Tour totaling up to $55,759,904, Thomas ranks among the top earners in all-time money earned among golfers on the PGA Tour. Back in 2018, he found himself a spot on Forbes World's Highest-Paid Athlete, and the following year, he made it on the 30 Under 30 Sports as well.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Career Stats</b></h2>
The American became a pro in 2013 and joined the PGA Tour in 2015. He has played in 222 PGA Tour events and secured 15 wins on the American circuit. Out of the 222 events in which Thomas participated, he made the cut for 181 of the events. The former World No. 1 has also been the runner-up six times and has 13 third-place finishes. Looking at his top 5 finishes, the number comes up to 51 and JT has 77 top 10 finishes to date.

The 30-year-old has also been crowned the FedEx Champion in 2017, and he also went on to win the 2020 PNC Championship alongside his father, Mike Thomas.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
The former worldâ€™s number-two golfer has a strong endorsement portfolio. It includes Titleist, Footjoy, Citigroup, WHOOP, NetJets, WoodfordÂ Reserve, and Beats Electronics. The golfer is also associated with the legendary watchmaker Omega. Thomas is also signed with the sports apparel brand Greyson Clothier, through which he reportedly earns $20 million annually.

Fans can buy Thomasâ€™ signature clubs, tour bags, and hats from Titleist. Thomas has appeared in multiple commercials for Titleist and Footjoy. In September 2020, he collaborated with Scotty Cameron on a putter called the â€˜Scotty Cameron Inspired by Justin Thomas Phantom X5.5.â€™His endorsements also play a significant role in boosting his paycheck and net worth.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Records</b></h2>
Thomasâ€™ first win came in 2013 at the CIMB Classic in Malaysia. He beat Adam Scott by one stroke while also setting a course record. 2017 was the golden year of his lifeâ€™s career. In August 2017, Thomas claimed his first Major at the 2017 PGA Championship.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1757081" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1025758049h.jpg" alt="Justin Thomas" />

He reached five wins in that season, becoming only the fourth golfer behind Jack <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jack-nicklaus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Nicklaus</a>, Tiger <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tiger-woods/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Woods</a>, and Jordan <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/jordan-spieth/">Spieth</a> to reach five wins before his 25th birthday. He also won the FedEx Cup that year and was rewarded with the World No. 1 ranking in 2018.

At the 2020 US Open, Thomas hit 65 in the second round, which is the lowest score ever at Winged Foot. However, the golfer struggled in the 2023 US Open and finished at 12 over, which was the most dissatisfactory finish of his career.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Justin Thomasâ€™s Charity and Foundation</b></h2>
In 2019, Thomas launched the Justin Thomas Foundation with a goal to not just promote junior golf but also humanitarian goals like helping children in need and military families. He was inspired to do it after being a beneficiary of a fund as a child that helped his golf career to spring. Some organizations they have worked with are The First Tee, the Boys &amp; Girls Club of Kentuckiana, and USA Cares.

<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1398465" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1020508161h.jpg" alt="Justin Thomas" />

Aside from the foundation, Thomas has also played in other charity events to raise funds for various causes. He played a charity event back inÂ <a href="https://golf.com/news/tiger-woods-jt-rory-rose-charity-match/">August 2020</a>, where he played alongside Tiger Woods and RoryÂ <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/rory-mcilroy/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">McIlroy</a>.

In 2023, the American Junior Golf Association awarded the golferâ€™s foundation with the Junior-Am Fundraising Award, Charitable Giving Award, and Social Media Award for their remarkable work in 2022.

<h2><b>Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woods's Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements.

Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/golf-news-pga-tour-tiger-woods-parts-ways-with-nike-fractured-deal-becomes-a-reality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">which came to an end after a 27-year partnership</a> that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023.

[caption id="attachment_1123251" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="size-full wp-image-1123251" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-07-10T105851Z_1035672675_UP1EI7A0UI10A_RTRMADP_3_GOLF-OPEN.jpg" alt="Tiger Woods" width="1920" height="1319" /> Golf - 150th Open Championship - St Andrews, Scotland, Britain - July 10, 2022 Tiger Woods of the U.S. during a practice round REUTERS/Paul Childs[/caption]

Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/pga-tour-golf-news-where-does-tiger-woods-live-inside-his-54-million-mega-mansion-with-two-private-docks-tiger-woods-house-jupiter-florida-mansion/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property</a>.

Woods also bought both his parents' houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl's names.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life</b></h2>
Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies.

From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy.

By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes.

Tiger Woods

Tiger Woods 2024: Net Worth, Family, and Career Tiger Woods&#8217;s Net Worth 2024 Tiger Woods has a net worth of $1.1 billion, as per Forbes. Not only does this make him the first billionaire golfer in history, but it also makes him one of the very few billionaire athletes in the world. Woods undoubtedly owes his high value to his being a savvy businessman and his valuable endorsements. Woods owes a lot of his wealth to his partnerships and sponsors. One of his most famous and valuable endorsement deals was with Nike, which came to an end after a 27-year partnership that began in 1996. Additionally, the golf pro is sponsored by big names like Bridgestone, Monster Energy, Rolex, and TaylorMade. The golf pro made $60 million in endorsements alone in 2023. Golf &#8211; 150th Open Championship &#8211; St Andrews, Scotland, Britain &#8211; July 10, 2022 Tiger Woods of the U.S. during a practice round REUTERS/Paul Childs Woods has a sizable portion of his investments put into real estate. One of the most expensive of those investments is his house on Jupiter Island in Florida. In 2006, he spent a whopping $40 million on the property. But that wasnâ€™t the end of it at all! He further went on to construct his $54 million mansion on the property. Woods also bought both his parents&#8217; houses. In 2007, he spent $2.4 million to buy two plots of land in Jupiter, Florida, for his mother. As per public records, in 2010, a $1.31 million home in Windermere, Florida, was listed under Tiger and Earl&#8217;s names. Tiger Woodsâ€™s Early Life Woods was born on December 30, 1975, in Cypress, California. Named Eldrick Tont Woods at birth, he now goes by his widely popular nickname, â€œTiger,â€ which was given to him by his father, Earl Woods, in honor of one of his close army buddies. From a very young age, Woods began taking a liking to the sport. He became interested in golf at the age of six months after watching his father hit golf balls into a net and imitate his swing. His skills with a club were amazing, and at a very young age, he began being called a golf prodigy. By the time Woods had reached the age of 2, he had become quite fluid with the game and even showcased his talent by putting alongside the American comedian, Bob Hope, on the Mike Douglas Show. One year later, while regular kids were playing with blocks, Woods shot a low score of 48 across nine holes. At the age of four, Woods flaunted his skills out of a bunker in a short game against a 16-year-old and beat him by four strokes. He was featured in Golf Digest as a 5-year-old, where his abilities were lauded.
