Two-time Major champ keeps the faith at The Sentry despite title drought since 2022
-
Even though he is 2 1/2 years removed from his latest PGA Tour victory, Justin Thomas remains a confident player.
The 31-year-old enters the season-opening event, The Sentry, at Kapalua, Hawaii this week eyeing a career-best year.
"I still fully believe that I can have a year like Scottie (Scheffler) just had," Thomas said on January 1, referring to the world's No. 1 player who won seven times on the PGA Tour in 2024, including the Masters and the Tour Championship.
"I think I would be doing myself a disservice if I didn't think I could at least do that. I have a lot of faith and capability in my game, and I feel like I'm working on the right things."
The most recent victory for Thomas was the second Major win of his career, at the 2022 PGA Championship. His best year in terms of wins was 2017, when he captured five events, including the PGA Championship.
He added: "I underappreciated (winning) then, for sure. I truly felt like I was going to win multiple times every season pretty much, until I lost it a little bit. It's just so hard to win out here..."
"Naturally, the better player that you are, you can get away with more mistakes, but come the end of the week on Sunday, you have to win the golf tournament."
