Justin Thomas: “I’m Not Ready to Be Done Playing Golf Yet”

Justin Thomas reflects on his opening round at the 2026 BMW Championship and explains why reaching the TOUR Championship in Atlanta means so much to him.

He also reveals the lesson he learned from chasing Ryder Cup selection in 2023, explains why he cannot focus on making the Presidents Cup team and assesses the parts of his game that improved during Thursday’s back nine.
