Justin Thomas sends out a heartfelt message after spending time with ‘up and coming’ golfers

Justin Thomas took a moment to reflect on some special experiences from last month. Although he struggled at the Procore Championship in Napa Valley, finishing 69, three over par, Thomas found time to engage with young talent and give back to the game.

On Saturday, October 4, the sixteen-time PGA Tour winner shared a carousel of five photos from a round with junior golfers. He wrote:

“Looking back at earlier in September when I was lucky enough to get to hang out and put on a clinic for local junior golfers ahead of the Procore Championship @silveradoresort. Great day with some up and coming talent and my partners @troon .”

Justin Thomas hosted a private clinic for Silverado Resort members, sharing tips on swing mechanics and the mental game needed to compete at the top level. He demonstrated practice routines, answered questions, and hit shots that impressed everyone present.

For the young golfers and members, the session was more than instruction and gave them a chance to play alongside one of golf’s top players. For Thomas, it was an opportunity to give back and connect with emerging talent.

Justin Thomas, who is skipping this week’s Sanderson Farms Championship, recently represented Team USA at the Ryder Cup. He finished 2–2–0 as Europe edged out a 15–13 victory.
