But it also turned out to be revealing of Thomas’ decisions on the rebel league, the LIV Golf Series. The Saudi-backed series, funded by the sovereign wealth of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, has posed a challenge to the existing golf bodies.

The cash-rich league has lured top golfers to play for the newly-launched series with eye-watering contracts. Being one of the most recognized faces in golf, Thomas was also expected to be handed an offer. Though it was never known whether he received an offer, he seemed to confirm the same in the conversation with Pressley.

While speaking about the rebel league, the all-formal-suited Pressley asked whether Thomas was upset about not joining the lucrative league. “Were you upset that you never were offered any type of money to go to LIV?” he asked, assuming that his guest for the evening was never offered a contract.

In response, Thomas gave a cheeky reply. “Who said that I wasn’t,” he said.

Surprisingly, Pressley couldn’t fathom that LIV Golf offered Thomas a contract. “I just couldn’t imagine they wanted to have you.” When JT asked for the reason, the host pointed to the former’s semblance of lack of change, to which Thomas agreed.

“Yeah I’m pretty much ‘stay in my own lane’ and do my own thing,” the golfer said before Pressley pushed on for a straightforward answer. After much deliberation, Thomas finally replied, “Well, they did.”

But how did he respond to the offer? As a PGA supporter, Thomas declined the invitation, remaining on the books of his home tour. The conversation between Thomas and Pressley is a gem to miss out on!
