He hasn\u2019t had the season-defining result that would have booked his place at East Lake for the Tour Championship, however. <\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Thomas is encouraged by the season, as he explained in a social media statement after his season ended early.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-2291043356-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Justin Thomas of the United States points to the right and as his ball is carrying into the crowd area on the second hole during the third round of the PGA BMW Championship\" class=\"wp-image-2609830\" \/>Photo by Rick Ulreich\/Icon Sportswire via Getty ImagesJustin Thomas reacts to missing the Tour Championship  <\/p>\n<p>A T16 at the BMW Championship meant Thomas was outside of the top 30 in the FedEx Cup standings by the end of the tournament, and therefore did not qualify to play in the playoff finale at the Tour Championship. <\/p>\n<p>But the two-time PGA Championship winner is still proud of his season given the circumstances. He posted to X: \u201cWell, my season ended a week sooner than I would\u2019ve liked\u2026 I\u2019m always one who doesn\u2019t give myself much grace and am too hard on myself. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile this year doesn\u2019t feel much different, a part of me (albeit a small part \ud83e\udd23) is proud of comfortably making it the @BMWchamps.

A lot of hours and trust in my team to help me every step of the way. Massive thanks to them!<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAll that being said\u2026 I\u2019m one day removed from my \u201cseason\u201d being done and I\u2019m already itching to get back. I\u2019m ready to get back to the quality golf I know I\u2019m capable of and winning tournaments. I\u2019m extremely appreciative of my fans for all their support. Bigger and better things ahead!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thomas\u2019 return started with a +14 at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, but he immediately recovered and played some great golf throughout the year. If he played a full schedule, it\u2019s hard to imagine he misses out on East Lake.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now that Thomas is back to full health, expect to see him back in contention in 2027.<\/p>\n<p>Join Our Newsletter<\/p>\n<p>Receive exclusive football transfer news and updates twice a week to your mailbox<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Follow us on Google Discover For the first time in two seasons, Justin Thomas\u2019 season is over before&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55791,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1516,144],"class_list":["post-55790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-justin-thomas","tag-justin-thomas","tag-pga-tour"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55790\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55791"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/golf\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
