JT’s fashion choice makes all the wrong noise at the PGA Championship

Being a two-time victor at the major championship, great things were expected of the 30-year-old. However, Thomas struggled in dire conditions as he never managed to get going. So far, JT has failed to score under par at the PGA Championship, with round scores of 72, 73, and 75. While he managed to jump across the line to make the cut, another major championship seems to have swept away from Thomas.

Yet, many questioned his attitude towards the prestigious event during his time at the Oak Hills course. While there was nothing extraordinary about his dressing, Thomas wore his cap backward, which sent the wrong signal to the millions of fans watching the game.

It’s rather evident that his fashion choice didn’t sit well with the fans. And perhaps JT will keep that in mind for when he heads back onto the course next!

Yet that confidence seems to have ceased to yield results. Thomas hasn’t registered a single victory this season, with his best result being a fourth-place finish at the WM Phoenix Open in February.

Thomas hasn’t made his mark on the biggest stages either. He finished outside the top 50 at the Players Championship, while he failed to make the cut at the season-opening major championship, the Masters Tournament.

JT’s last win on the PGA Tour, besides his 2022 major win, came in March 2021. How long do you think this win drought will continue to plague his golf career? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
