Justin Thomas, known for his fan-friendly demeanor, delighted golf enthusiasts by inviting an 11-year-old boy inside the ropes during the 2023 3M Open. The boy’s flawless 10-foot shot, using Thomas’s club, earned cheers and showed the golfer’s generous side.
However, Thomas’s dedication to the game also means upholding high standards. At a kids’ clinic, he scolded a youngster for dirty club grooves, reinforcing discipline and respect for the sport. His approach, while firm, reflects a commitment to excellence from a young age.
Thomas has also drawn a firm line with unruly fans, having one removed from the Honda Classic for heckling. He emphasized that respect is non-negotiable—whether for himself or competitors—demonstrating leadership both on and off the course.
