Stick or twist? Latest PGA Tour winner Justin Thomas makes decision over Joe Greiner

Justin Thomas has confirmed he will be sticking with his regular caddie Matt 'Rev' Minister despite ending his winless drought on the PGA Tour at the RBC Heritage with Max Homa's former looper.  

The 31-year-old clinched the signature event at Harbour Town Golf Links last week courtesy of a sudden-death playoff over Andrew Novak.

It marked his first time in the winner's circle since the 2022 US PGA Championship at Southern Hills. 

He did so with the help of experienced caddie Greiner, who recently decided to part ways with Homa after a six-year association with the American golfer. 

Homa revealed before the 2025 Masters that he was sacked by Greiner so as to preserve their friendship after his form nosedived. 

As Minister was unavailable to loop for Thomas for the first men's major of the year, the two-time major champ turned to Greiner. 

But it appears their partnership will be short-lived. "We both knew that going in," Thomas told SiriusXM PGA Tour Radio. 

"It was very much a fill-in situation. We were so lucky that Joe was available until Rev got healthy. I love Joe to death, but I'm very excited to have Rev back."

Thomas is not in action this week as the PGA Tour heads to TPC Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. 

Newly-crowned Masters champ Rory McIlroy and his European Ryder Cup teammate Shane Lowry will attempt to defend their title at the team event. 

Thomas has not confirmed when his next start will be.

Xander Schauffele helped JT's putting woes

Thomas told reporters after his first victory in 1,064 days that a recent putting session with Xander Schauffele helped him end his winless run. 

The golfer said he picked Schauffele's brain because he believes, fundamentally, the reigning Open champ is one of the best putters in the world.

"He came out with me and he just was asking me a bunch of different questions," Thomas told reporters. 

"You guys obviously know Xander - he doesn't leave any box unchecked. He said that day, he's like, 'if it has anything to do with you potentially improving in golf, I've probably done it or tried it'.

"I just was talking to him about this process and how he reads greens and how he sees things and his practice and everything. 

"Honestly was just being with him and he would kind of ask something and I was like 'yeah, I used to do that'.

"Then he was like, 'well, how about something like this?'. The more I was talking, I'm like, 'I don't do any of the things that I used to do in my best putting years'. 

"In 2017-18, I was very, very regimented of the things that I did, and how he said it is I had a home base and I now had no home base.

"I had things that I did, but it was a very vague bag of things and there was no consistency to it. 

"I feel like I used to have a very good home base of fundamentals and things that I did.

"While he helped, it was more the questions he asked me made me realise that I'm trying basically too hard and I'm trying too many different things."
