The 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am saw the much-anticipated return of Jordan Spieth and Scottie Scheffler. While Scheffler’s recent palm injury raised concerns, Spieth has been battling a lingering wrist issue since 2017. This setback has undoubtedly affected his consistency and overall performance over the years.
Justin Thomas stole the spotlight with a spectacular 80-foot eagle at the par-5 18th hole. But what truly grabbed attention was his celebration—a dramatic club toss reminiscent of Spieth’s iconic 2017 Travelers Championship moment. Playing alongside Spieth, Thomas’s move sparked a wave of reactions, reviving memories of one of golf’s most unforgettable finishes.
Spieth, however, struggled in the tournament, finishing T62 with a modest 2 under par, while Thomas secured a T13 spot with 8 under. Despite Spieth’s assurance of a full recovery, his performance suggested otherwise. Meanwhile, fans took to social media, cheering for Thomas and speculating whether his bold celebration was tribute or imitation.
With Thomas’s resurgence and Spieth’s ongoing challenges, golf fans are divided. Some see Thomas’s celebration as a nod to his friend, while others believe he’s stepping into the limelight. Regardless, the moment has reignited excitement, proving that golf still delivers thrilling narratives.
