The 2018 PGA Champion has showed up in the majors throughout his career. Justin Thomas has finished in the top 25 in six of the last eight with three top-10s.

He continues to improve at Augusta, as well.

JT made his Masters debut with a T39 in 2016. He climbed to T22 in 2017 and T17 last year. In 2018, Thomas fired 74-67-70-73.

"“I get more excited to go play Augusta than I do any place. It’s a place that I do feel like I’ll win at some point in my career hopefully at least once,” Thomas said in January 2018. “But you don’t know. You don’t know if and when it will ever happen. But I do. I love the place. It’s just a matter of playing it better than I have the last few years.”"

His 2019 has been very solid, but he’s still searching for his first win since the WGC-Bridgestone last August.

He’s teed it up nine times with four top-10s (highlighted by solo second at the Genesis Open) and hasn’t finished worse than T35. Thomas’ cuts made streak is up to eight.

Thomas’ rounds could blow up on him early in his pro career, but he quickly became a player who doesn’t post dud rounds. He’s third on Tour in overall strokes gained and is in the positive in all SG categories.

Thomas crushes the ball (fourth SG tee to green) and should be looking to birdie every par-5 at Augusta (first in par-5 scoring). He’s first in birdie average (5.14) and is one of the leading candidates to at least fire the low round this week, if not the low 72-hole score.
