Justin Thomas made a triumphant return to the winner’s circle at the 2025 RBC Heritage, edging out Andrew Novak in a thrilling playoff. It marked his first victory since the 2022 PGA Championship, showcasing a remarkable comeback.
Former PGA Tour pro Smylie Kauffman praised Thomas’ progress, noting significant improvements in his game—especially his putting. He emphasized that Thomas had overcome past struggles with his swing and is showing renewed confidence.
Kauffman credited Thomas’ dedication, saying the golfer has trained harder and invested more in himself than ever before. According to him, Thomas is now “playing JT golf again,” a return to his signature style.
Before this win, Thomas had already come close, finishing runner-up at both the 2025 American Express and Valspar Championship. His RBC Heritage victory confirms he’s back among golf’s elite contenders.
