Justin Thomas recently admitted he didn’t want Rory McIlroy’s 2025 Masters victory to be too dominant. As a golf fan, Thomas preferred a close contest, saying it added excitement and drama to the final round viewing experience.
Thomas, who finished tied 36th at Augusta, was impressed by McIlroy’s playoff win that sealed his career Grand Slam. Despite competing against each other, Thomas shared that he watched McIlroy’s final round on TV, rooting for a thrilling finish over a runaway win.
Their relationship reflects mutual respect, having faced each other in Ryder Cups and other events. Even through controversies and rivalries, McIlroy has stood by Thomas, highlighting a strong professional bond grounded in sportsmanship.
Though Thomas didn’t contend this year, his RBC Heritage win marked a powerful comeback. He also recalled highlights like an eagle on hole 2 and finishing just inside the cut line at Augusta, despite early-round struggles.
