Winning? Nice.
Receiving a $1 million prize and gaining momentum for 2025 due to the victory? Nice as well.
This is particularly true for Justin Thomas:
A trophy presentation from the Hero World Challenge’s host, Tiger Woods, a longtime friend of Thomas and an occasional guide. Indeed, they enjoy playful banter with each other. It would surely be quite something for Thomas to receive the Hero trophy from Woods.
“Absolutely, that would be awesome,” Thomas remarked after Saturday’s third round. “I’ve had a handful of chances before, but it’s definitely a goal I’d love to accomplish in my career at some point.”
