Justin Thomas has been around for several years, most of those years spent at the very top of golf, but has recently fallen off. Is this a permanent drop and will he ever be able to return?

I was waiting for this Video after the Spieth one.
I really like Thomas and I legit feel like he gets into his own head way to much. Like Spieth its a shame how he never fulfilled his true potential.
JT has all the talent and skill you could want. But the mental aspect of golf is the great equalizer
If you don’t have that dog in you mentally as a golfer, early success is one of the worst things for your career imo.
4:15 man that would be a shitty year for tiger
Fun fact: I became a fan of his when he called himself/his ball an F Slur
The biggest outlier for him is how exceptional he is in the Ryder cup. A guy who has such a weird mentality and fluctuates so hard seems to thrive under that pressure and atmosphere
This video has basically confirmed my suspicions of Justin Thomas, and why I don't really like him or Spieth all that much, he just seems like a guy who has been around Golf all his life, went to college and played Golf and came up through all the right channels, was part of the "in crowd" circle, and nothing malicious at all…. but just kind of…. expected all his life to be a Tour Golfer, and it happened, I can kind of see it on his face, i don't see someone who thinks about the game in great detail, or tries things out, he just follows the textbook mechanics his coaches tell him…. I can't quite explain it….. he's been too comfortable, and I just don't think there's the hunger or, frankly, the talent to be a real great, but just a good, above average top 30 tour player, just my honest opinion though.
Hopefully he's not put on the Ryder Cup squad out of pity or because his friends captain. Such BS that he was on the last team. Dude flat out stinks.
My man got a sponsor! Congratulations!
I like the video.. The quality, story telling and music is just amazing 🎉
Little rich 💰 💰💰 kid.

loved this video & JT!!
So he hasn’t won in 800 days. If you don’t know how hard it was to win on tour at any time in the past and now with all new talent and all the new equipment.. he’s still there making checks, if he fell off and quit playing then sure but he’s still there. And I don’t like the dude
People forget that with the era of Tiger came the era of workout freaks and guys that ONLY played golf….kids that grew up watching Tiger came to the tour in the 2010s….with that influx of talent came the lack of dominant play like we saw from Tiger and even early Rory. JT and even Spieth are surrounded by guys that are certified killers (Scottie, Bryson, Xander, etc)
Still, somehow "J Twizzle" made the Ryder Cup team, I wonder why…
Video is titled “what happened ..” and you never answer the question. What a waste of time. Wish these YouTubers would quit posting gotcha titles. Everyone knows his play has declined and he’s inconsistent like most golfers. Thanks for the incredible insight you provided genius.
Great video very interesting. You hit on a point which I’ve been talking about for awhile in the fact that in the early days when Nicholas and Palmer ruled the game, golf was an elite sport was very difficult to get into mainly because of money and class. So there wasn’t the wide spectrum of golf talent around that there is nowadays. So putting that into perspective, how good in comparison was the likes of Nicklaus and Palmer compared to many of today’s top players. I think it would make a really interesting video
A common theme for JT and Spieth, is they were never the same after getting married and having kids. There is a level of competitiveness and drive you have to be the best of the best. Being a husband and/or dad with more than enough money to live off the rest of your life leads to a level of complacency. It's why I think Matt Kuchar never became what he should have become. Comfortable life without having to put in a ton of work. This dude just completely blew off this point with a "Well I don't know about that". GREAT response, meanwhile facts say otherwise.
I’ll start talking sh!t when I win a major
He’s still my fav he’s the goat idc
Who cares, I'm sick of hearing his name!!!
Need a Rickie Fowler video next
JT is good again
