TULSA, Okla. – Justin Thomas’ friendship with Tiger Woods is well documented and the two already have something in common: the PGA Championship in Southern Hills.
Woods won the PGA in 2007, the last time he played on the famous Tulsa field, and Thomas can now add his name to a list of top winners in the Southern Hills, which includes Woods, Retief Goosen and Nick Price, to name a few. just a few.
“The list of champions at this place, in my opinion, speaks for itself,” Thomas said after lifting the Wanamaker trophy for the second time. “I think being on the list of champions on this golf course is very, very special… And it’s definitely nice to do it after he did it in ’07.”

This triumph in the PGA Championship is the 15th victory of the PGA Tour and the second major championship for Thomas. He also won a PGA at Quail Hollow in 2017.
After his last victory, Thomas joked that it was just one thing that could be deleted from Woods’ long list of achievements.
“I think I only have about 150 other things now that he has done to stop causing me grief,” Thomas said. “So I guess it’s just a springboard.”
Only in comparison with Woods’ career can winning the PGA Championship be called a “step”.
Thomas was asked if he thought Woods was celebrating Sunday night by watching Will Zalatoris win the playoffs.
“I do not know, I’m sure he will probably find it difficult to shake him [off the tee on No. 6]”Thomas said. “I had to hit 18. I didn’t have to be in the playoffs. I don’t know, he will always find something to grieve for. “
