World No. 16 Justin Thomas has become a formidable player on the PGA Tour since turning pro in 2013. He is now chasing a career milestone that would place him among the greatest legends in golf history, targeting a career total of at least ten major championships.
Thomas has a total of 18 professional wins to his name, with 16 coming on the PGA Tour. The 33-year-old has secured two majors so far, but that's nowhere near what he wants for himself.
“I mean, I'd say at least ten,” said Thomas back in 2024 in a Between Two Shots interview with Skratch.

Only three players in the sport's history have reached that mark. Jack Nicklaus (18), Tiger Woods (15), and Walter Hagen (11) have all crossed it.
On the other hand, Ben Hogan and Gary Player came very close, as both secured nine majors.
Thomas’ two major titles both came at the PGA Championship, winning at his favorite course, Quail Hollow Club, in 2017 before producing a record-tying seven-stroke comeback to beat Will Zalatoris in a three-hole playoff in 2022.
Moreover, Thomas came close to winning the Masters and U.S. Open in 2020. The American finished fourth at Augusta after being tied for the lead at the end of the second round.
Similarly, at the U.S. Open, Thomas got off to a strong start at Winged Foot West Course, leading after the first round. However, he fell out of contention and ended up finishing tied for eighth.
Thomas missed the start of the season as he recovered from back surgery. He also revealed how he has been training to get back to his best.
Thomas Reveals His Recent Practice Sessions
Thomas underwent a microdiscectomy in November last year and took a break from competitive golf.
He returned at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March but unfortunately failed to make the cut.
“Really been trying to work on keeping my hands and body moving in sync and not letting my arms run up and long at the top of my backswing,” said Thomas.
However, since missing the cut, Thomas has shown remarkable improvement, finishing once in the top five, twice in the top 10, and four times in the top 25.
With the U.S. Open and The Open Championship remaining, Thomas will look to get over the line and move closer to his goal in the majors.
