After a difficult run in major tournaments this year, Justin Thomas has increased his focus on his preparation to finish the season strongly at the Open Championship 2025. The 16-time PGA Tour winner recently posted a video on Instagram showing his training for the Genesis Scottish Open and the upcoming major event, signaling his determination to improve.
Despite claiming victory at the RBC Heritage earlier this year, Thomas has struggled to translate that success to the majors, missing the cut in both since his win. His recent performances have raised questions about his consistency in high-pressure tournaments.
Reviewing Thomas’ Recent Form and Performance Trends
Thomas, who ended a nearly three-year winless streak with his RBC Heritage triumph, has generally played well this season, with seven top-ten finishes in fifteen starts, including three runner-up results. However, his major championship results have not lived up to expectations, highlighting an ongoing challenge for the two-time major champion.
His results this year span a wide range of finishes, including a 2nd place at The American Express and the Valspar Championship, top tens at the WM Phoenix Open and Genesis Invitational, and a missed cut at both the PGA Championship and U.S. Open. This inconsistency is a key concern as he prepares for the final stretch of the season.
