Justin Thomas offers self-deprecating response after miserable PGA Tour season
Justin Thomas has taken to Instagram to reveal how he got on with his goals for the 2022-2023 season on the PGA Tour and in the majors.
Justin Thomas had a self-deprecating take after sharing his list of goals for the past season.
Thomas usually takes to Instagram this time of year to share some of his successes and failures.
As a two-times major champion and a former World No. 1, Thomas usually sets his targets extremely high.
For the 2022-2023 season, Thomas was wanted to:
- Make the Tour Championship at East Lake
- Make a Ryder Cup team and win
- Win three or more times
- Win at least one major
- Place top-10 in over half of events competed
- Have the lowest scoring average on Tour
- No missed cuts
- Get to No. 1 in the OWGR
It hasn't been the year Thomas had hoped for as the 30-year-old only ticked off one target.
He was selected as a one of Zach Johnson's wildcards for the 2023 contest. He went 2-0-1 as Team USA were defeated by five points in Italy.
In the majors, he missed the cut at the Masters after a sloppy finish to his second round. He also didn't make it to the weekend at the U.S. Open or the 151st Open at Royal Liverpool. He finished T-65 at the PGA Championship and, for the very first time in his PGA Tour career, failed to make it to the postseason.
Thomas joked: "Well… at least I got one check mark!"
He added: "I've always been a goal setter, but also have enjoyed being candid about sharing them at seasons end.
"In 23' I went with less stat oriented goals, more accomplishment based, with the thought of the "practicing" I did would accomplish the stats I wanted which would produce these hopeful outcomes.
"Everybody is different in their goal setting. I've always been one to set the bar high to try and work toward them and achieve them.
"While 2023 was my least successful year on @pgatour, it provided my best opportunity for learning experiences and areas to grow.
"I'm thankful to have an amazing team around me who works their tails off to continue to work hard to win tournaments and improve."
