A star in the making, Thomas, at just 22 years old has already begun to make his mark as a professional. After a solid rookie season on the Web.com Tour in 2014, he punched his PGA TOUR ticket with a win at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital Championship, the third of four Web.com Tour Finals events. Thomas has followed up that success with five top10 finishes during the 2014-15 PGA TOUR season, including a career-best T-4 at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He is currently ranked No. 85 in the world and No. 42 in FedExCup points and has eclipsed the million dollar mark in TOUR earnings, with $1,588,775, for the first time in his young career. The Kentucky native will be making his second start at The Greenbrier Classic at the end of this month, but his first as a professional.
