Justin Thomas is keen for PGA Tour players to have more of a media presence with the circuit's TV rankings continuing to slump, in what is a worry of the two-time major winner
The PGA Tour is still looking for a way to solve its pace-of-play problem, but Justin Thomas isn't certain the TGL shot clock is the answer.
With Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy absent and no debut match curiosity, TGL needed a spark — or a competitive match — to keep up the hype during its third match. Unfortunately, it failed to deliver, quickly becoming a snooze fest instead.
Justin Thomas, an important face of the PGA Tour and TGL, pointed out that it is difficult to make drastic changes and speed up the game. “It’s tough. Look, this is my 10th year on Tour. I’ve been on the PAC a lot of years. We’ve talked about pace of play all 10 years,” Thomas said, as quoted by Golf.com
"I also know how much the fans love those moments -- hearing our thought processes, conversations with our caddies."
Sellers Shy, the lead golf producer for CBS, applauded Thomas for reaching out to players about more access. Jim Nantz, the lead announcer who is starting his 40th year with CBS, suggested the walk-and-talk could be expanded.
By finishing solo second Sunday at The American Express, Justin Thomas recorded his best finish since winning the 2022 PGA Championship. Thomas’ $959,200 payday also pushed him
When Thomas made his second putt of at least 23 feet to halve a hole on No. 13, he said, "we really don't want them to get a point, so that was huge."
