WATCH: Justin Thomas’ Heartwarming Gesture Sends Young Golf Fan Into a Frenzy
Growing up, one tends to idolize celebrities they draw inspiration from. This includes athletes across all sports, who are seen as heroes for children as they hope to play the same game. More often than not, we see athletes giving away shoes, a band or even a towel to one such lucky fan they meet – looking to inspire as much as they can. Justin Thomas did one such deed recently.
In a recent video uploaded by a proud and excited father, Justin Thomas gives away his shoes to a little fan at the Northern Trust. Naturally, the video brought along a lot of positive responses. Other fans appreciated Thomas’ gesture and acknowledged how incredible the child must’ve felt upon meeting his idol in real life.

“There he is, see him right there,” the dad says pointing at Thomas who enters the frame, with the kid responding with an enamored ‘no way’ while pointing out his new golf shoes.
Soon enough, Thomas spots them, handing over the shoes to the child with a ‘here you go dude’. The father remains surprised, asking Thomas if he was indeed serious. “Probably going to be a little bit before they fit you but that’s all you,” Thomas adds as he walks away, the dad thanking JT.
The kid then walks over before the video comes to an end, showing the new shoes off in the camera.
