Justin Thomas played in two PGA Tour events in 2025; however, he will miss the Farmers Insurance Open. The American golfer started the season at The Sentry and tied for T26 place.

A new season in any sport is ripe with optimism and enthusiasm, and that's how PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan sounded when he delivered a year-end video message that promised innovation and excitement.
