In less than three years on the PGA Tour, 24-year-old Justin Thomas has already accomplished more than most professional golfers ever do.
On Sunday, Thomas shot a steady 68 to win the PGA Championship by two strokes, joining good buddy Jordan Spieth as two major champions under the age of 25. The Kentucky native had already experienced some significant brushes with history this season, shooting a 59 at the Sony Open back in January and a record-tying 63 at the U.S. Open in June.
Golf fanatics already knew what to expect from the hugely talented Thomas, but more casual followers will want to know more about the latest arrival to the world's elite stage. Check out these facts on Thomas' luxurious life and fast-developing career.
