Justin Thomas is one of the most prominent names on the PGA Tour. He already has 14 PGA victories and a major championship win in his short career so far. However, even though he has enjoyed a great start to his professional career, JT has been struggling a bit in the last few months.

Given his talent and hardworking abilities, a strong comeback is always on the cards for Justin. Moreover, along with insane golfing skills, he is also a very kind and genuine soul. The 28-YO has always helped young golfers with their performance feedback and recently gave yet another example of the same.

Notably, Visacki turned pro in 2014 and since then has been trying to make it to the PGA Tour. After years of pushing himself, he finally earned a spot in May 2021 at the Valspar Championship. Furthermore, he played at the 2021 Charles Schwab Challenge but sadly couldn’t make it to the weekend.

Hence, he had to go back on the mini-tour and play more tournaments to qualify. But all the travel expenses and bills for a guy who might not have much financial backing probably created an issue.
