Best finish since 2022 PGA win launches Justin Thomas into this exclusive 11-man club

Finishing solo second Sunday at The American Express, Justin Thomas recorded his best score since winning the 2022 PGA Championship.

Thomas’ $959,200 payout also put him in rare company.

Thomas became just the 11th player in PGA Tour history to surpass $60 million in course earnings, moving into 10th place on the career money list and ousting Matt Kuchar for 11th.

Here’s what the $60 million club looks like:

1. Tiger Woods, $120,999,166
2. Rory McIlroy, $90,989,348
3. Scottie Scheffler, $71,793,586
4. Jim Furyk, $71,507,269
5. Vijay Singh, $71,281,216
6. Adam Scott, $68,248,165
7. Justin Rose, $64,878,042
8. Jordan Spieth, $62,741,970
9. Jason Day, $61,731,563
10. Justin Thomas, $60,827,898
11. Matt Kuchar, $60,335,682

Thomas returned to the Tour Championship last season after missing the 2023 FedExCup Playoffs entirely. He finished last year with three straight top-10s, including a T-2 at the Zozo Championship and a solo third at the Hero World Challenge, before the Open new season with T-26 in The Sentry.

On Sunday at PGA West, Thomas opened with a 5-under 31 before trailing with just one birdie on the back nine, eventually finishing two shots behind winner Sepp Straka.

“Just keep doing what I’m doing, I don’t have to change or do anything different, just keep building, keep working, tighten some things up,” Thomas said. “I feel like my wedge game hasn’t been anywhere near my level of what I like it to be. So yeah, just keep getting better at it and keep working – because we’ve got a big part coming up that I’m excited about.”
